AquaForst vs Triton

[rbraunberger]

Hello all,

I have been looking at running AF or Triton method. What are your thoughts out there in R2R land? Anyone else think this would be a great @Ryanbrs investigates video!

Thanks for all the input!

What is your goal for the tank?

What is your goal for the tank?

goal would be reduced algae growth, and better coral growth (less death).

You currently have issues with both?

I'm not sure either of these are necessarily the best answers to algae and corals that die, but I've not used either so I'll have to leave comparative comments to others.

I really like AF comp 123 it's very easy. Once I dialed in Kh Ca & Mg by adding them separately to get levels balanced but keeping the three parts equal my levels stay balanced. It's been about 6 months and while the amount dosed has gone up they have remained balanced entire time I test. Trace elements have also remained very balanced as well. I do a Triton test once a month and my levels are always right where they are supposed to be.

It's not that any one product or method is better than the other.
Need to read about 30 years worth of Randy's "Water Chemistry" articles.
