The TRITON method

Replace trial and error with conscious control

Until 2008, maintaining orthodox reefs centered on monitoring a few chemical parameters using color chart test kits.Not only was the accuracy of the test kit readings questionable, but the vast majority of other elements in the seawater were completely ignored.This meant that the two key processes impacting the water quality of closed reef systems – (1) consumption of elements by creature metabolism and (2) contamination from external sources – were largely invisible. for the reef keeper.This meant that water quality drifted over time and adversely affected livestock.Thus, aquarists have compensated for flying blind to water quality from the costly practice of regular water changes, both as preventative maintenance and as a cure for problems.

In the “bad old days”, the reef craft was essentially an expensive process of trial and error guided by stories, opinions and product marketing. Everything changed in 2008 when TRITON Applied Reef Bioscience was founded With the express purpose Using ICP-OES and HPLC technology, TRITON has enabled aquarists to: (1) test their saltwater, (2) find out what's in it, and (3) take action to fix it. when the chemistry deviates from Natural Sea Water, TRITON has formalized this paradigm shift with TRITON METHOD, a reef recipe that anyone can follow. The TRITON METHOD is as powerful as it is simple and is suitable for the hobbyist who just wants a beautiful, easy to maintain home aquarium through the demanding needs of public aquariums, zoos, and research facilities.

The TRITON Method is a holistic reef system that combines the key advantages of TRITON's research into advanced elemental analysis of seawater (TRITON LAB), highly pure reagents to supplement and treat seawater ( TRITON REAGENTS) and high-end LED lighting. SPS corals (LANI).Combined with our renowned customer service, TRITON innovation makes reefing a pleasure, not a chore.

The TRITON method: introduction and overview

Our goal as reef keepers is to emulate natural seawater.Sea water is not mysterious, you can create it using a recipe of distilled water and chemical elements in controlled proportions.Suppose you have set up your aquarium with a salt mixture that approximates natural seawater.Will it stay like this?Nope!Fish, invertebrates, plants and bacteria constantly interact with seawater through respiration, excretion and natural nutrient cycling.These biochemical reactions consume elements and shift their proportions away from those found in natural seawater.Elemental consumption is both natural and normal and should be considered when conserving reefs.

The other fundamental process affecting the quality of your seawater is elemental contamination.Like it or not, unwanted elements will find their way into your aquarium.Metal corrosion from equipment, environmental toxins from paint, and even the food you feed your animals are all sources of contaminants that can build up and distort the balance of your natural seawater.

Each reef aquarium will consume elements and receive contaminants in a unique way.The only way to know what is really going on in your system is to test your seawater.THETestTRITON LABIs the most accurate, comprehensive and affordable seawater analysis available to reef keepers.When your water is tested, you'll receive an email with a link to your online results where an easy-to-use 'traffic light' reporting system alerts you to any issues.An online calculator automatically tells you which supplement or treatment to use and the exact dose required.

The beauty of the TRITON method is that you don't have to be a chemist to use it.Simply test your seawater.Know what's inside.Take action to fix it.

Setting up a TRITON METHOD reef system

A TRITON METHOD aquarium is a sophisticated, easy-to-use holistic solution for the modern reef keeper.The first step in the reef is to set up your new aquarium and allow the bacterial nitrogen cycle to be established.

To take full advantage of the TRITON METHOD, we recommend that your system uses a sump with a separate algae refuge (10-20% of system volume) which in turn drains into the main sump where you perform filtration and apply the reagent dosage.The return pump capacity should be approximately 10 times the system volume.

A healthy algal refuge will consume animal waste by-products and certain metals while exporting useful proteins, carbohydrates and metabolites.

A key benefit of the TRITON method is the elimination of the need for water changes.This is achieved by using a daily supplement of TRITON Base Element solutions which replace all essential macro and trace elements removed by the natural metabolism of your reef system (seeelementary consumptionAbove).

For a New System: Monitor Your Alkalinity Using a Droplet Test

AdddailyBasic solutions to the elements of your system.The goal is to achieve and maintain an alkalinity of 8dKH.Start with a dose of 10ml / 100L of each of the four basic element solutions (1,2,3a and 3b).Continue to monitor your alkalinity - if after months it is still below 8dKH, gradually increase the dose of basic elements until the target level is reached.Once at 8dKH, reduce the dose.This ensures that your system has the full complement of basic elements balanced in the correct proportions.Another significant advantage of the TRITON method over other techniques is that the base element solutions also contain a full suite of trace elements vitally important to the health of reef creatures.

Note: The consumption rate of macro elements and trace elements varies depending on the mix of living creatures in your system.Thus, the daily dose of basic elements varies from reservoir to reservoir.

Note: Core Elements is also available as an ionically balanced (7x) super concentrate called CORE7.

Start TRITON LAB testing...

When you have established a stable and well-balanced system, send a sample of your seawater to TRITON LAB for analysis.This provides a baseline measurement of macro and trace elements in your seawater prior to any changes due to biological activity and/or external contamination.

Feeling the pulse of your system...

By keeping track of the amount of building blocks you add to the system every day and performing regular ICP testing, you are effectively feeling the pulse of a beautiful, living coral reef system.Only the TRITON method gives you such conscious control.When you first set up your system, we recommend performing an ICP test every month.If everything is balanced/stable and there are no obvious sources of contamination, you can extend the testing interval.Remember without testing that you are flying blind.The cost and grief of undetected contamination (replacement of lost livestock, seawater, time and labor) isalways superiorAt the cost of periodic testing.

Detect and fix problems...

While Base Elements solutions provide the essential base of macro and trace elements, it is unavoidable in small closed systems that there will be some drift from natural seawater - either due to biological consumption or contamination.The purpose of the TRITON LAB routine test is to warn you BEFORE serious andpotentially expensiveDo not occur.

As soon as your test is complete and verified by TRITON LAB, you will receive an email notifying you that your results are available online.Just log into your account and your results are presented in an easy to understand “traffic light” reporting system.Most problems are caused by element(s) being too low (supplement required) or too high (treatment required).The TRITON reporting system identifies these problems, flags them “in red” and, using an online calculator, automatically tells you which supplement or treatment to use and the exact dose required.

Tips for beginners...

A closed system reef tank is like a room full of people with no windows - over time it becomes stuffy and unpleasant due to the build up of gases we don't like!In your saltwater system, you may see signs of a “suffocating chamber” in the condition and behavior of your fish, invertebrates, and plants.It is obvious that something is wrong, but what to do?The traditional solution is to change the seawater which buys some time but the stuffy room syndrome soon returns.The TRITON method is like a breath of fresh air because it allows you to detect and measure contamination before it becomes harmful.

Corrosion of metals from equipment, toxins from paint, and even the foods you feed your animals can add contaminants that accumulate and distort your goal of maintaining "natural seawater."Fortunately, ICP testing can detect when these items are in unnatural proportions and the error correction report will recommend treatment to fix the problem.However, it is important to understand that there can sometimes be side effects from the treatments applied to your reef tank.

For example, when chemical filtration with activated carbon is used to remove dissolved organic carbon (DOC), or to treat copper contamination, it will also clean some of the iodine from your system!Likewise, if your error correction report recommends an aluminum phosphate stripper (DETOX), it will also bind arsenic, barium, and some fluoride.So tracking TRITON LAB tests is important to ensure the balance of elements is maintained in your system.
