A Complete ReefCare System — Testing, Dosing, Treatments

It depends on your water chemistry — and the only way to know for certain is a water test. Start with a TRITON ICP analysis. Your results will show exactly which elements are depleted or accumulating, and our personalised recommendations tell you which products to use and how much to dose. For most reef tanks, Core7 Flex Base Elements covers the foundation: calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, and all essential trace elements — available in 4-Part, 3-Part, or 2-Part format. Beyond that, individual supplements or MYTE can address specific needs identified by your ICP results.

Both are high-concentration dosing systems available in 4-Part, 3-Part, or 2-Part format. The difference is the trace element composition. Base Elements is formulated for the full TRITON Method, which includes a refugium with macroalgae. The refugium consumes certain trace elements as the algae grow, so Base Elements replenishes them utilising Infusion. Reef Supplements is designed for systems without a refugium — it contains adjusted trace element levels to account for the different element consumption pattern. If you use the full TRITON Method with a sump and refugium, choose Base Elements. If you use a different approach (carbon dosing, biopellets, regular water changes), choose Reef Supplements.

Yes. All TRITON products are specifically designed for compatibility with existing dosing methods. Whether you run a 2-part system, Balling method, calcium reactor, or kalkwasser — TRITON products deliver research-backed supplementation in a format that fits your setup.

You don't need to switch everything at once. Many reef keepers start with an ICP test and gradually transition to the full TRITON Method over time.

Alternatively, you can simply use individual products like AL99 or Carbon for their high quality, or TRITON trace elements for their precision and effectiveness.

Two-part dosing maintains calcium and alkalinity — two critical parameters. It works, and many reefers use it successfully. The TRITON system goes further: Core7 supplies calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, and all essential trace elements in one integrated system. Combined with ICP testing, it monitors 41+ parameters (not just two) and provides personalised dosing guidance. The key difference is visibility: two-part dosing requires manual home testing for two parameters, while the TRITON system gives you lab-grade data on your entire water chemistry and tells you what to do with it.

Calcium and alkalinity — along with magnesium — are the most consumed elements ("the big three" in the community). But corals also need trace elements in small amounts: iodine for metabolic processes, strontium for skeletal growth, iron and manganese for enzyme function, and more. These trace elements are consumed slowly but steadily. Without replenishment, deficiencies develop over months — often invisible until corals start losing colour or growth slows. Core7 includes essential trace elements alongside the macro elements. For targeted correction, individual supplements or MYTE can address specific deficiencies identified by ICP testing.

Your ICP test results are the answer. After your water sample is analysed, you receive personalised recommendations in the TRITON dashboard — including which products to use, how much to dose, and specific guidance for your reef's habitat type. Start with an ICP test. Your results will map directly to the products your reef needs. No guessing, no generic advice — data-driven decisions based on your water chemistry.

Yes. If you run a calcium reactor, you have two options:

Option 1 (recommended): TRITON Infusion — provides all trace elements without calcium or alkalinity, so it supplements exactly what your reactor doesn't supply. Simple: reactor for macros, Infusion for traces.

Option 2: Core7 Flex Reef Supplements — an integrated system that covers both macro and trace elements alongside your reactor.

Both approaches work and are guided by your ICP results. Infusion is typically the simpler option (one product), while Core7 Flex offers more granular dosing control.

Due to its higher pH, Core7 can also help stabilise calcium reactor operation and allows finer control over system pH — a technique used in many public aquariums worldwide.

All TRITON products can also be used in combination with a calcium reactor as part of a complete system approach.
