Triton myte subscription

[jeep and goose]

I’m considering getting the new triton subscription for my 100 gal, does it come with literally everything and how often will I have to test outside the icp, do I have to dose or test anything else or do any water changes or anything??? And am I supposed to run a skimmer or not

Following! I have similar questions!

A skimmer or not has nothing to do (should have nothing to do) with any reasonable measure and dose supplement scheme, but I do not know the answer to the other questions.

 

[Gumbies R Us]

I didn't even know they offered a subscription!

You should still be testing alkalinity at least once a week and calcium isn’t a bad idea either

A skimmer is a fantastic tool and what you dose has nothing to do with that

Water changes are highly valuable for many reasons and guess how Triton deals with elevated parameters? Water changes.

The MYTE program is just an ICP subscription program to lock you into paying them monthly. They will provide you with trace elements and an ICP test. That’s it

I have the subscription and so far its awesome. Starts with an ICP test, then they send you one or two 1000ml mixes. You then dose 31ml a day for a month from each bottle. getting close needing the next test after a few weeks. send it in. repeat. they monitor it all and add whats needed into the bottles to dose. keep in mind its only TRACE elements. so I do still dose AFR and i use my trident to keep alk, calcium, mag tested and i test nitrate/phosphate 1 time a week and log it on my apex app. so yes you get everything you need. except a doser if you want to automate it. but ive hand dosed mine and let the AFR run to keep alk stable.

I just switched over to Triton. The myte sub is ICP tests monthly and two custom trace element bottles. You're still responsible for Calc, Mag, Alk using this method.

I went "Full Triton" method in which you have to buy the Core7 stuff as well, which. is a box full of powders you mix with rodi that makes a Calc, Mag, and 2 ALK bottles, 4 liters totoal of each, and also has other trace elements in there. These get dosed all at the same level, whatever is needed to maintain your desired ALK.

I was already spending $75 per ICP test for moonshiners (60+shipping), so it wasn't a stretch to go with TRiton, and I decided to simply my life and go full triton.

How much is full triton monthly

 

[Jamie814]

do I have to dose or test anything else

To sum up what others have said you do still need to dose ALK and CA and should test these more often than just the monthly ICP as ALK can fluctuate daily as it is consumed.
Their subscription does NOT include these 2 main elements in the bottle of compounded supplements they send you after the ICP.

How much is full triton monthly

Depends on the tank size. The subscription fee is based on the gallons being treated.

Okay

I question how complete an icp test and provided dosing solution followed by another a month later can be with something (say, manganese or iron) that may deplete in a few days.

I run the full Triton Method with the MYTE subscription. The cost of the subscription is $79 per month for up to 100 gallons of tank water, then goes up $10 for each additional 100 gallons of tank water. The subscription covers a monthly ICP, trace elements, and a coach to give advice. The trace elements include things like Cobalt- Nickel-Manganese, etc. I love the MYTE subscription, cost wise it works out about the same as weekly water changes.

With the full Triton method, your filtration is a big refugium, a skimmer, a carbon reactor, and a GFO reactor. I use the Triton CORE 7 dosing method with this.

Thanks for the info. :)

Did you see any difference in the tank when starting this method, and what were you using previously for trace elements?

I am doing the same, and I have a bit of a caveat in that I had a return pump fail recently, and when pulled smelled of sulfur... While many of the inhabitants are fine I have lost a couple corals, most recently two candy canes.

It is also tricky to get alk "right" when changing because I was using baking soda for alk previously, and quite honestly I dont know what is in Triton's alk powder. But it appears to be more potent as I went from 9 to 10.5 fairly quickly... Between the return pump and the alk spike something went wrong.

I also don't expect to see a huge change when settled in as I was using moonshiners. Prior to moonshiners I was an AFR user. The move to moonshiners showed a clear growth spurt in both of my elegances and several torches.

I started it in January, tank has been running since September. I used All-For-Reef and 10% weekly water changes for the first few months. My tank was set up to run the Triton method from the start, but I had never used Triton before. I have definitely seen improvement with my corals since starting. But the biggest difference is my anemones. I added 3 rainbow bubble tips two months ago. They were all one shade of red and stringy. The colors on them have increased dramatically, and they are getting their shape back.

Especially when said ICP test is OES and not MS….unless Triton now offers MS testing? How can one be even semi-confident in all the lower trace elements that OES can’t detect?

This subscription really is snake oil

 

[oakcityreefer]

Any updates from you guys using the MYTE subscription? I just ordered it and Im waiting on my ICP test. My plan is to continue using All for Reef with the program at least for a little while.

Agree 100 %, but it does also provide the trace mixed monthly regimen based on the icp - could anyone do this on your own? Yes. Could you do it cheaper, yes. Is it an easy program maintenance for trace elements. Yes. Is? Yes, mostly? That's relative to the individual.
