Attached is my Triton Results. I am using Red Sea Pro, and understand that I should switch to the blue bucket version. (Which I ordered)

I understand my CA is high, and determined the cause of that, and I was not using any phosphate on the tank, and now have that running.

Do I just do the 6 water changes at 15% to see if my parameters go down, retest and then start dosing Triton?

Thanks

Why do you want to switch to the blue bucket? Your numbers are partly so high because the salinity is high, and lowering it will bring everything down.

Are you using a lanthanum phosphate binder? I rarely see elevated lanthanum in folks reports.

Not using and lithium phosphate binder. I thought Red Sea pro salt was not recommend when doing a Triton test?

Salt mix choice nothing to do with getting a Triton test. That's just a measurement.

If you are going to use the full Triton method (no water changes, their supplements, etc.) then the initial salt mix can be important.
