So I started Triton Method about a month ago. I have a 120 ga that has been running for over 7 years. So I am using Core 7 Base and am dosing about 4 mL/day (divided). I think I started this on about May 11th. After I figured out my daily dose of the elements I collected a sample and sent for analysis. The items that are low include I, B, S, Mo, Mn, V. So these items need to be dosed. They also recommend doing 6x15% water changes to lower Mg, Bromine, and Sulfur. I could not find the Triton salt but they recommended Marin Pro also so I ordered some of this salt to do the water changes. My questions are as follows:
1. Should I do the water changes, then retest before purchasing the individual elements?
2. Can you rank the importance of the elements I need to purchase as I may want to spread out buying all these bottles.
Would you recommend I start dosing additives while I do the water changes?
I do have some Lugols but I will have to order all triton additives
Iodine was 0 Setpoint 60.00 ug/l
Boron was 3.87 Setpoint 4.5
Strontium 5.36 Setpoint 8.00
Molybdenum 0 Setpoint 12
Manganese 0 Setpoint 2.0
Vanadium 0 Setpoint 1.2
Magnesium was 1563 Setpoint 1370
Phosphate 0 Setpoint 0.018
Phosphorus 0 setpoint 6
Bromine 79, Setpoint 62
Thoughts?
