Mixing Core7 reef supp with Core7 triton?

[AQUAM]

Seeking help from @Tim@Triton and experienced Triton users!!!

I've been dosing core7 other method on a triton-capable system. The system has been running beautifully on reef supplements for 6 month. When I ordered a new batch of core7 reef supplements I was sent a set of core7 triton method by mistake. Could I add the triton method solution directly to my dosing containers (each has ~200ml other method solution left), thus 'switch to triton method' from other method?

My understanding is that the only difference between the Core7 and the Core 7 Other Methods is bottle 1. Bottles 2, 3a and 3b are exactly the same.

Thanks! So now my question is, are 'triton method' bottle 1 and 'other method' bottle 1 mixable?

I think bottle 1 just has extra in it to feed the macroalgae in the full Triton method refugium, so I don't see why not but I would refer to Tim on that one.

My refugium is already thriving without the algae boosting elements in triton core7, would switching from other method to triton method be an 'overshoot' and cause nuisance algae in the tank? The tank has been nuisance algae free since initial cycling finished, I don't want to risk changing to chemistry too much and bring back the gha/bha. @Tim@Triton

@AQUAM your tank looks great and a really professional filtration cabinet! You are perfectly safe mixing Core7 Reef Supplements components with their corresponding Core7 Base Elements components. You will not develop any imbalances if it is only used one time. I am curious, where the mix up occurred, PM me where you purchased the sets.

Mixed the Base elements Core 7 (1000ml) with the remaining corresponding Reef Supplement Core 7 (~200ml). Can report mixing is safe - no cloudiness, no precipitation.
Will observe any changes on the system as a result of the ‘switch’.
