Ehsan Dashti, the founder and owner of TRITON Applied Reef Bioscience, established the company back in 2008 in Düsseldorf Germany.

TRITON was the first to employ cutting edge technology to analyse artificial and natural seawater for aquarium professionals and hobbyists.

His chemist father and pharmacist mother helped teach Ehsan a deeper understanding of chemistry from the early age of 12, when he began to first keep reef tanks.
