Triton questions

USMA36 · Sep 24, 2017

okay because of my refugium size (7.4 gallons out 100 total) , I think I have to go with other methods. I have a few questions and would appreciate some advice.

1. Is there a manual for other methods?
2. Should I continue to dose vodka?
3. I am running a refugium, should I lose the filter socks?
4. Will I need to continue water changes?
5. I see I should start off with 2ml per 26 gallons which for me is 8ml. I will be using a evo 4 dosing Pump. How best to program the doser 1 ml 8x a day 2ml 4x a day.....etc etc

Basically do I just follow the full Triton method with the only change being that I use the forbither methods version?

Yes you should follow Triton Method while using other methods. Seperate doses by 20 min for each bottle.

1) At the moment there is no manual just for Core7 Reef Supplements (Other Methods) as the usage is exactly the same, we are working on one though...
2) Yes continue doing what you are dosing, Core7 does not replace your carbon source.
3) Removing the filter socks will improve the efficiency of your algae bed, but also increase visible particle until the algae bed in dense enough to perform the same task, up to you.
4) ICP testing will tell you if/when to perform any water tests..
5) Try to spread the doses throughout the day if possible, leave at least 5 mins between each solution to prevent reactions, dose into and area of HIGH flow.
