So I have 100 gallon reef heavy coral and fish . Was using 3 part bionics - 80ml alk & cal 60 ml mag. 8.1 ph ,9 dkh , 440 cal, 1380 mag . Switched
To triton 4 part started at recommended 40 ml of each and my ph crashed to 7.2 ,alk below 7 and cal 380 increase all up to about
80 ml triton results still poor went 90ml on 1&2 left 3&4 around 60 still ph down at 7.7 and allk at 7.2 cal 380 . Couldn't take it went back to bionics
And everything back up to normal. Not sure what to do . Anybody experience same thing ?

what do you mean when you say water removal?120 gallon water volume
Dosage is 86ml/86ml/86ml/86ml and the water removal is 156.52ml per day
The tank is about 15% stocked I'm going with the minimalist aqua-scape look.
The KH is stable now at 8.4
I have been looking at the Europeans before and after pictures since they started the Triton Method. They started maybe a year before us and I'm seeing pictures of explosive coral growth. They say their dosage goes up a lot initially.
Maybe the cost of the Triton Chemicals are the same as water changes but the Triton method seems to be a lot easer for me and the corals in the us aren't growing anywhere near as fast as the Europeans corals using Triton.

There is a calculator on the Triton web site that tells you how much water is dumped out of the tank. On the site you put in your dosage amount and it tells you how much water to take out of the tank.
Found here; | Triton-Method Method calculator | Triton GmbH

If you are wet skimming you may find that you do not need to remove water at all.
Only if your salinity starts to rise.
