Well Idk about you guys but I feel like this thread has gotten me all the answers a beginner with triton method needs. Ty again Scott. Look forward to spending my money with you. Also look forward to more of your rants about the aquarium world on r2r!

LOL, well, it's fun to think of customers spending money with us, but the reality is that we're excited by the hobby aspect...We think that Triton can be a great method to follow for a lot of reefers. Not the best, or the only way to go- just a really simple, elegant and successful method that lets us enjoy the hobby a bit more. I think I could only scratch the surface on the nuances here; I'm sure my necessarily brief responses may have raised more questions! Do check out he Triton US forum here on R2R...lots of really helpful reefers who are already playing with Triton to share their experience with you in a fun environment! Most of the experienced guys there have probably forgotten more than I'll ever know about this stuff, so it's a great resource!

I'll keep finding stuff to rant about, so until next time...as I like to say- Stay Wet!

Triton represents a possible path to a future of reefkeeping that changes literally EVERYTHING. Also "IT AIN'T".
It is NOT (as it claims) a reef keeping "method" or "system".
The Triton "method" is actually nothing but the Berlin method with measured dosing.
It is sad that they are selling it this way. Because behind the measure is the answer.
If Triton or other similar companies can start collecting and sharing data about successful husbandry, it will be ground shifting in the hobby/profession.
Nearly everyone with success has some kind of refugium, maybe with or without a protein skimmer, and some kind of goal
Now, what does Miracle Mud do to your water over a 2 year period?
What does a Deep Sand Bed do over a two year period?
Is your Protein Skimmer helping or hurting, or how many hours a day should you run it?
Does some amount of Phosphate help some corals and kill others? Which ones? What amount is optimum for your tank?
What does too much Boron do to your water quality? How about too little? Lets face it, you DO NOT KNOW if your corals like more or less or NO Boron, or Plutonium for that matter.
But once the data comes in from the collective community, we will know. IF (a big if) it is collected and used somehow. Which is up to us.

Triton does not represent a reef keeping "method", it represents a data collecting opportunity. It's up to us to figure out how to use it.

Have you tried the method yet? If not, it's pretty hard to say anything good or bad about it.
I am currently running the method and have seen positive results (color, no coral fatality, much less maintenance). So their claims in my experience have been spot on.
