So, I am about to completely break down my Reefer 350 to move it into our new place and I am moving all my livestock to a biocube for now, I don't actually have that much. In this process I am planning on switching over to use the triton system, but I feel like the stock sump wastes a lot of...
Hello everyone!
What are the minimum size requirements for a skimmer chamber? Is it just large enough for the skimmer to fit or does it need some additional volume? Just talking about the foot print, I understand water height requirements.
I'm planning on building a sump for my frag tank with...
Hello,
I started using the Triton method on my established 100gal mixed reef on the first of November. However, I've noticed that my PO4 and Nitrate levels have risen to unacceptable levels since converting.
The phosphate levels have kept rising since I switched from BRS GFO High Capacity...
Hi all,
So I am properly sick of not being able to purchase Triton additives because they are always out of stock and having two sets of milk jugs leak in the boxes when I receive them is not making me very loyal at this point. I currently do not follow the "triton" method but us their...
I am in the middle of converting to the Triton method with my RedSea Reefer 350, after I have had a slow and painful crash.
Unfortunately, no-one makes a custom sump for the RedSea Reefer 350 so I have had to design my own around the 350 cabinet.
This one gives a refugium of 15% and the ATO...
Hi All
I have had many problems with my tank as of late, and basically, I am going to do a complete restart.
I have a RedSea Reefer 35o and I am looking at replacing the sump with a Trigger Triton 34 which seems from my reading as a good Triton sump for my display size. (Display is 275...
I just wanted topost this quick video I pre-ordered the GHL Maxi during the all the Black Friday sales. I Had my eye on a DOS for a very long time, but couldn't get over the shape of the DOS. I may be unique in that regard, but i had purchased 2 DOS units and two DDR's and sent them back. I...
Hi everyone and @Tim@Triton
I have a reefer 350 and planning to use the Triton core 7. I am wondering if my sump modification with 7.5 gallon space for cheatos with around 80 gallon total water volume can be use to run Triton core 7. Currently I have no algea in the display as I’m running...
So I figured after a little over 4 years without doing water changes I would send in a test. I knew when I sent in sample calcium was high and made adjustment on calcium reactor. Other than adding a little manganese anything standout?

Hello everybody,
I am new to this board, so I'll start with a short introduction of myself:
My name is Mario and I am from Germany. I own a reef tank since 2009, I started with a 30 gallon tank as my first aquarium and since summer 2015 I own a 100 gallon reef.
I am an engineer, therefore I'd...
I have always run GFO and had very good success with it. Recently I have been running a very large triton style refugium with the Kessil refugium light. I have 0 detectable nitrates or phosphates with this, and I recently stopped changing my GFO. I still have 0 detectable phosphates with a...
Hi everyone,
Just got my first triton test results back and I had a few questions regarding some of the importance of the dosing suggestions they listed. A few of the issues I have already been correcting even before I got the results back as it's been some weeks since I bottled up the...
I've been having mysterious issues with my sps and acans specifically not wanting to expand or let polyps out. Time and time again I've studied and talked to others to try and zero in on the issue(s). Finally, I decided to get a Triton test and I'm still having trouble breathing after reading...
Hey everyone,
My current system is about 3 months old and is approximately 107 total system gallons. I set the system up from the beginning using Triton Methodology. I currently have a 20g refugium growing Chaeto very nicely on a reverse photo cycle. I have done zero water changes and set...
I am contemplating using the Triton system on my new tank. I have a used Elos 120xl which has a 1/2 return pipe, a quick google search shows its at best good for 800 gph. The 127 gallons in the Elos times 10 has me looking for 1250 to 1300 gph.
This seems like a substantial shortcoming.
Has...
Hello,
I am new to the forums but have been keeping reef tanks/fowlr tanks for the past five years. I recently picked up a 125 gallon tank that was brand new from craigslist for $100 dollars so that was too good of a deal to pass up. So, since I have picked up this tank, I was looking to see...
Before I pull the trigger on this - I'm building my 75 gallon reef tank and want to go with the Triton method.
Will the Eshopps r-200 have enough fuge space for a 75g dt? It's 10x7 and I don't know if I will be able to grow enough chaetomorpha in that space to make the Triton method...
Hey guys i to am tired of water changes and was interested in trtion.
Sadly i do not have enough room for a fuge tha is 20% my tank volume being that i have a 60 cube and everything must fit in the sump.
Is there anyone here using the triton 7 elements for other methods?
How is it going for...
Hello,
I know the refugium light is supposed to be lit on when the display tank light turns off to prevent PH swing. What about keeping the refugium light on 24 hours a day? Will it still prevent PH swing? Is there any adverse effect?
Thank you for your input in advance!

Hi all,
I just started triton "other methods" this past Monday and things seem to be holding steady and doing well so far. I have noticed that over the past 5 days my magnesium has dropped from 1300 to 1200 but all the other parameters are staying stable. (I've been testing everything...
Hello
I got a triton test done and the results are attached.
I still have a lot of trouble with STN on my Acros...
Do any of the water parameters show reasons for STN?
Most parameters show up with a green light but maybe there is something...
Colors are good; growth is slow but noticeable (on...
@AVAST Marine
I started using the spyglass a few weeks ago. I have the small size in the return section of my RSR 250. I had to plane off a bit of acrylic on the base to make it fit but did not interrupt the integrity of the chamber.
I have mixed the prescribed amount of ROX carbon and GFO...
I grabbed the manual from the top of the first page and started reading through many of the posts in this thread. Now I have some confusion.
I have an "established 75g tank" . 5 fish, crabs, snails, 2 corals (colony polyp and a green candy cane). About 130 lbs of live rock, heavy coraline...
Got my first Triton test back. Elevated Tin & Zinc, see full test results if desired.
