The TRITON Approach

One System, Four Dosing Paths

TRITON Core Elements offer four paths to supplying calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium to reef aquariums. Core7 Flex Base Elements is designed for the full TRITON Method with algae refugium. Core7 Flex Reef Supplements works without refugium. TRITON Infusion enables the TRITON Method with calcium reactors or Balling setups. TRITON DIY salts provide lab-tested individual macro elements for custom mixing.

What makes TRITON different: you choose the dosing path that fits your setup. Use Core7 Flex Base Elements with an algae refugium for the full TRITON Method. Choose Reef Supplements if you run a different filtration system. Add TRITON Infusion to your calcium reactor or Balling setup. Or mix your own macro elements with TRITON DIY salts. Every path is calibrated by ICP-OES analysis — so you always dose what your reef actually needs. Backed by over 500,000 ICP-OES analyses, TRITON dosing recommendations are continuously refined. Natural seawater contains approximately 420-440 mg/L calcium, 1300-1330 mg/L magnesium, and around 7 dKH of alkalinity — Core7 Flex maintains these levels with precision while also delivering essential trace elements.

DIY Salts TRITON NaHCO3 — high-purity sodium bicarbonate for alkalinity adjustment

TRITON NaHCO3

Alkalinity Booster

4000g · Powder

High-purity sodium bicarbonate for precise alkalinity adjustment. 3g per 100L raises alkalinity by approximately 1 dKH. Packed in-house and lab-tested at TRITON.

Find

How It Works

Alkalinity (carbonate hardness / KH) is one of the most important parameters in reef aquariums. As an essential component of calcification, alkalinity forms the basis for healthy coral skeleton growth in SPS and LPS corals. TRITON recommends maintaining KH stable between 7-8 dKH.

  • High-purity sodium bicarbonate — packed in-house, lab-tested at TRITON
  • Precise alkalinity adjustment without affecting other parameters
  • Combine with TRITON Infusion for full TRITON Method compatibility

Dosage & Application

  • 3g TRITON NaHCO3 per 100L water = raises alkalinity by approximately 1 dKH
  • Dissolve in RODI water before adding to aquarium
  • Add to an area with good water flow
Dosage: 3g per 100L = +1 dKH Target: 7-8 dKH
DIY Salts TRITON CaCl2 — high-purity calcium chloride for calcium correction

TRITON CaCl2

Calcium Booster

4000g · Powder

High-purity calcium chloride dihydrate for targeted calcium correction. 3g per 100L raises calcium by approximately 10 mg/L. Lab-tested and quality-controlled at TRITON.

Find

How It Works

Calcium (Ca) is a macro element present at approximately 420-440 mg/L in natural seawater. As an essential component of calcification, calcium forms the basis for healthy coral skeleton growth in SPS and LPS corals.

  • High-purity calcium chloride dihydrate — packed in-house, lab-tested at TRITON
  • Targeted calcium correction based on ICP-OES analysis
  • One of "the big three" reef tank parameters (calcium, alkalinity, magnesium)
  • Combine with NaHCO3, MgCl2, and TRITON Infusion for a complete DIY TRITON Method setup

Dosage & Application

  • 3g TRITON CaCl2 per 100L water = raises calcium by approximately 10 mg/L
  • Dissolve in RODI water before adding to aquarium
  • Add to an area with good water flow
  • Dosing recommendations available under the "Dosage" tab of your ICP-OES analysis

Magnesium Booster

4000g · Powder

High-purity magnesium chloride hexahydrate for precise magnesium adjustment. 8.4g per 100L raises magnesium by approximately 10 mg/L. Lab-tested and quality-controlled at TRITON.

Find

How It Works

Magnesium (Mg) stabilises alkalinity and supports calcification in reef aquariums. Natural seawater contains approximately 1300-1330 mg/L magnesium. Maintaining stable magnesium levels prevents alkalinity fluctuations and supports healthy SPS and LPS coral growth.

  • High-purity magnesium chloride hexahydrate — packed in-house, lab-tested at TRITON

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Reef Dosing

Reef aquarium dosing replenishes calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium — elements corals consume daily for skeletal growth. TRITON Core7 Flex supplies all three plus trace elements in one system. The 4-part configuration is recommended for best control. Start dosing at 2ml per 100L and adjust based on ICP-OES analysis every 2-3 months. Target alkalinity: approximately 7 dKH.

Two-part dosing uses two separate solutions to supply calcium and alkalinity to your reef. TRITON Core7 Flex goes further: it delivers calcium, alkalinity, magnesium and essential trace elements in one system — available as 4-part (recommended for best trace element stability and separate Ca/Mg control), 3-part, or 2-part configuration. The 4-part option provides the most precise dosing with individually adjustable calcium and magnesium. If simplicity is your priority, the 2-part option works with just two dosing pump heads.

Core7 Flex Base Elements contains TRITON Infusion — a proprietary blend of trace elements and beneficial substances optimised for the TRITON Method with an algae refugium. Core7 Flex Reef Supplements does not contain Infusion and is designed for reefers using other methods such as carbon dosing, biopellets, calcium reactors, or classic water changes. If you run a refugium and follow the TRITON Method, choose Base Elements. If you use a different filtration approach, choose Reef Supplements.

Yes. Combine TRITON CaRx Media with TRITON Infusion. CaRx Media supplies calcium and alkalinity through your reactor, while Infusion adds the trace elements and beneficial substances that make the TRITON Method work. This is often the most cost-effective approach for large reef systems. Recommended reactor pH: 6.0-6.2.

After your ICP-OES results arrive, your MyTRITON dashboard provides personalised dosing recommendations.

Starting doses: 4-Part and 3-Part: 2 ml per 100 L of tank volume per day. 2-Part: 4 ml per 100 L per day.

Target alkalinity: Build toward approximately 7 dKH — an optimal level for most reef systems, where corals calcify efficiently and trace element consumption remains predictable.

Initial adjustment phase: Test your alkalinity (dKH) daily and adjust dosing accordingly:

  • If alkalinity rises, reduce dosage by 10–20%
  • If alkalinity drops, increase dosage by 10–20%

Continue fine-tuning until alkalinity stabilises around 7 dKH.

Once stable: Test every 3 days to monitor for any required adjustments.

Ongoing monitoring: After the initial setup, re-test with ICP after 2–3 weeks to evaluate system response. Adjust dosing as needed, then move to ICP testing every 2–3 months once the system is stable.

The big three refers to calcium, alkalinity (carbonate hardness / dKH), and magnesium — the three most consumed elements in a reef aquarium. Corals use these for skeletal growth, and maintaining stable levels is essential for healthy SPS and LPS. Natural seawater contains approximately 420 mg/L calcium, 1300-1330 mg/L magnesium, and 6.7 dKH alkalinity. TRITON Core7 Flex supplies all three plus essential trace elements in one dosing system.
