NO MORE WATER CHANGES!
A key benefit of the TRITON METHOD is the elimination of the need for water changes. This is achieved using a daily supplement of TRITON Base Element solutions which replace all the essential macro and trace elements removed by the natural metabolism of you reef system and the use of algeas such as chaeto into your tank or sump cleaning your tank by consuming nitrates and phosphates for easy nutrient export.
As simple as get Chaeto algea with proper light, a 10x return pump and start dosing Triton Base Elements every day!!
To take advantage of the full benefit of the TRITON METHOD we recommend your system use a sump with a separate algae refuge (10-20% of system volume) which in turn flows into the main sump where you run filtration and apply reagent dosing.
A healthy algae refuge will consume animal waste by-products and some metals while exporting useful proteins, carbohydrates and metabolites.
Triton Core7 Base Elements is an ionically balanced, super concentrated dosing system for reef aquariums of all kinds and have been specifically developed for the Triton Method of reefing. The Triton Method utilizes accurate ICP-OES testing to analyze what elements are in your tank and their concentrations along with specific filtration requirements like sumps and refugium. With ICP-OES testing Triton has been able to monitor what elements are consumed during coral growth and metabolic functions. Taking that data they have developed their ultra-pure line of Core7 Base Elements, that include all major and minor trace elements that your corals are going to need.
Dosing Core7 Base Elements
We highly suggest using Triton ICP-OES testing to establish a baseline, and for dosing recommendations.
As a baseline starting dose only 2mL of each component every day per 26 gallons of system water volume. Alkalinity testing should be done on a daily basis for the first couple of weeks so that consumption can be adjusted until you get a consistent alkalinity of 8 dKH. It is recommended not to exceed 2mL per 26 gallons of system water volume per dose, and if more solution is required then multiple doses per day can be administered.
- Core7 Base Elements uses a 1:1 ratio – for every 1mL of Part 1 you use, you should be using 1mL of Part 2, Part 3A, & Part 3B.
- Periodic testing with Triton Labs is highly encouraged to help fine tune your water chemistry.
Use with Dosing Pumps
It is highly recommended to use an accurate dosing pump. Due to the super concentrated nature of the elements, it is required to dose into a high flow area of the sump ideally right before the refugium or display tank with a minimum of 5-minute intervals between solutions being dosed. It is also recommended to not dose more than 2mL per 26 gallons of water volume in a single dose.
Daily dose should spread over the day. Example: for a total dose of 24mL per day. Set your dosing pump to at least 0.5mL every 30 minutes.

Keep the perfect track of your aquarium: By using Triton ICP-OES testing you will be able to know which elements are low or high, and with the dose report that comes with the test results, you will know exactly how much Trace Base Manganese to add.
