Anyone running the Triton method.

[Balz3352]

I'm seriously debating running the triton method on my new 210 build I'm gathering supplies for. Anyone her running it? Or have info on it? Anything?

Thanks

What is the triton method?

Pretty sure there are some good write ups in R2R and Reef Central. I've heard that the no water change aspect of it doesn't work unless you have a massive algae filter.

I have a 100 gallon sump where I'll run cheato and debating on doing either 40b mangrove also or scrubber. I'll have to search national forums I guess

Mike wouldn't happen to have any links would you?

I found this. For those who want some info.

no water change system is what i am aiming for in my next tank, dont know if ill send it off for lab testing though

Angel, I agree might be one of those things I do once a year unless somethings off or I make a huge change. I like the fact you only really have to check alk from what I've read so far.

Seth Solomon ran a triton sump on his 120 for a while. I don't know if he did the no water changes though.

Here is Richard Ross's (runs the 220,000 gallon Philippine reef tank at the California Academy of Science)write up for consideration.

And reading this later... Haha

And reading this later... Haha

It basically says that Triton wont disclose their calibration methods for their testing machine and that they claim higher accuracy in test results than is allowed for in the machines +/- tolerance. ...that they are overselling how good the tests are.

Hmm interesting... But still not weighing heavily on their testing more their additives and no (or limited) water change schedule. More the method/principles then testing
