Hi y'all,

I can't seem to find Triton Core7 elements anywhere in the US. Is there a shortage right now? Is the company having financial or manufacturing troubles?

Thanks,
Jon

It’s on a container ship some where in an ocean. Apparently will be back in stock middle to the end of the month.
It's on one of these

Is this a joke? lol

It's a reasonable question. You can have the best product in the world, but if the popularity is too much too quick, it can be hard keeping up, or having the cash flow required. Although I think their issue was with faulty containers. They recently switched and it took awhile to get going again.

They sent it over on the titanic. Who wants to hire a exploration company to retrieve the product with me?

dang that’s to bad. I got a set coming from Unique today. You could try messaging them, as their website showed sold out, but they were able to add a set to my order.

I have 4 sets of 1L ones that arrived yesterday from Aquacave. But I'm looking to get a 10L set to last me through the shortages. I dose 80ml a day. So it does not last long

Looks like it was container #1. @timtriton this failures have gotta be killing any profits.
Ouch. I know I'm looking forward to finally getting a 10L set though. Those will be plastic and will last me a few months. Lol

Hope you guys get your core7 soon!

Availability continues NOT to be an issue in Europe, so I really think the US wholesalers need to forward order according to the projected growth curve (plus a margin!).

Triton can only ship what has been ordered by their importers after all.

Tastyfish Triton USA "is" the wholesaler.

Leakey containers, lack of supply, poor communication and penalty pricing outside of Europe all lay entirely and completely on Triton's shoulders.

Unique Corals (the original importer) and Bulk Reef Supply, the two largest retailers of Triton products, are both fine companies with excellent reputations - they can only do so much to correct Triton's lack of forethought and poor management of a situation they refuse to accept still exists.
