Where is the Triton ICP testing for Dummies/FAQ?

Pola0502ds · Mar 15, 2017

I sent my water into Triton for the first time and just got my results. I don't know what half of the element designations mean, i dont see NO3, ALK, or salinity, etc.. The ones i do recognize, im not sure if they are in the same units im used to reading them in and if they should be converted or not??

Point is, i searched the triton website and I couldn't find a FAQ to answer these questions. Triton is obviously geared towards europeans but if they are going to offer services in the states then you think it would be setup so someone with not as much experience can translate all of the results. Any help would be appreciated so i can understand my results.

Correct. They don't test NO3, Alk, or salinity. Its nice to see if there are any heavy metals that might be effecting your corals. I have high silicate, high lithium, and low iodine. So it helped me to at least correct those and hopefully my sps will be doing a whole lot better.

I discuss my test results and how I interpret them here:
