Hi everyone,
I've just started the triton method and have some very basic questions I can't seem to find on triton's site or anywhere else.
1) When dosing core 7 base element 1, 2, (3a+3b combined), how much time must pass in between dosing each solution ? (ie. When dosing ESV b-ionic 2 part, I usually dose alkalinity first and then wait 30 minutes before dosing calcium. is it the same for triton core 7 ? 30 minutes wait time ?)
2) I understand alk, and ca needs to be dosed at 30 minutes interval to avoid precipitation. what about solution 1 ( magnesium) ? do we also need to allow 30 minutes to pass before dosing calcium or alkalinity ?
3) after mixing 3a+3b together, the resulting solution is clear and has no precipitation at all. However when I dose it (3.5 ml) into my sump (via ghl doser) white flaky precipitate forms. the doser drips into the return pump section of the sump which is quite small containing only 1.5 gallon of water. Am I right in assuming due to small size of the section that is the cause of the precipitate ? or any solution to avoid precipitate ? I didn't have this problem dosing esv b-ionic 2 part.
my current parameters are:
alk: 8.0
ca: 438
mag: 1320
sal: 1.026
phos : 0.04
nitrate: 0
tests done via Hanna checkers.
question 1, 2 are very basic and i'm surprised triton method does not have any instructions on this anywhere on the website or pamphlet.
thank you for reading and helping
