Algae release "useful proteins, carbohydrates and metabolites."

But he hasn’t clarified anything... for instance @Julian@Triton hasn’t mentioned anything about heavy metal absorption, the explanation of ”PCM” is very wishy washy, seeing as he got a plug in for N-DOC, what levels are PCM are desirable? Whats to much? How does it measure in N-DOC? What can we see in NDOC results that would indicate a healthy level of PCM... triton only ever use anecdotal evidence form ”there extensive research” without publishing it or even allowing it to be scrutinised... they could be making everything up for all we know... again I’ll ask you to publish your testing findings, you will get a lot more respect...

I don't disagree, but I still appreciate that a response was made. I am hoping some dialogue can open up between smart people and Triton, maybe I'll learn something (I usually do here).

Thank you for posing your clarification questions.

It seems that the answer given by triton was pretty straight forward and easy to understand.

The TRITON Method is based upon Ehsan running his aquarium in Dusseldorf with incredible success for over a decade, without the need for water change, using TRITON quality assured products and regular TRITON ICP-OES lab testing. The refugium was and is still considered the key component of filtration for the TRITON method.

If spitting in your tank gives you similar results then who are we to argue

Dear Julian,
I am a reef aquarist for decades, and I’d like to know if the primary question was answered on this thread. Is there any evidence that the stuff from algae (metabolites etc etc as argued by Triton) is “good” for the aquarium inhabitants in any way? With all due respect.
Thank you.
