TRITON Products

Reef Tank TreatmentsTargeted Solutions, Not Guesswork

TRITON Treatments are a range of reef-safe, antibiotic-free products for aquarium problem-solving and water quality management — from cyanobacteria inhibitors and tissue necrosis treatments to phosphate removal and coral feeding systems, all developed and quality controlled through TRITON's ICP-OES and N-DOC laboratory research. Every treatment backed by lab research. Every dosage guided by your water analysis. No antibiotics. No heavy metals.

The TRITON Difference

Test. Diagnose. Treat.

TRITON treatments work differently from generic reef products because every treatment is connected to laboratory diagnostics. An ICP-OES test identifies heavy metals, nutrient imbalances, or trace element deficiencies. An N-DOC test reveals organic carbon and nitrogen ratios. The treatment addresses what the test found — not what you guess might be wrong.

TRITON is the only company where water analysis and treatment products come from the same lab. Your ICP-OES test reveals what's wrong. Your N-DOC analysis measures the nutrients others can't see. And every treatment on this page was developed from that research — not from a marketing department. This is reef care driven by data, not guesswork.

"We don't sell treatments to treat symptoms. We built a system where every product exists because the lab data proved it was needed."

Ehsan Dashti, CEO, TRITON Applied Reef Bioscience

Test

Send a water sample to one of 5 TRITON labs on 4 continents. Receive results for 45 parameters at parts-per-billion precision.

Diagnose

Your results reveal the actual cause — elevated copper, shifted N:C:P ratio, or hidden contaminants that home test kits cannot detect.

Treat

Choose the right product with confidence — dosing guided by your actual water chemistry, not guesswork.

Antibiotic-Free Solutions

Problem Solvers — Reef-Safe, Backed by Science

TRITON DETOX removes copper and lead using natural humic acid. TRITON CYA-NO inhibits cyanobacteria by shifting the reef environment's N:C:P ratio. TRITON RTN-X and TRITON STN-X combat bacterial tissue necrosis with an in-tank bath that shocks attacking bacteria while fortifying the affected coral. None of these treatments contain antibiotics or heavy metals.

When your reef faces cyanobacteria, tissue necrosis, or heavy metal contamination, you need solutions that work without creating new problems. Every TRITON treatment in this range is free from antibiotics and heavy metals — safe for your corals, fish, and invertebrates. Pair with ICP-OES or N-DOC testing for precision dosing.

Problem Solver TRITON DETOX — natural heavy metal remover for reef aquariums

DETOX

Heavy Metal Remover

100ml · Liquid

Removes excess copper and lead from your aquarium using natural humic acid. Antibacterial and antiparasitic properties that benefit your fish — completely reef-safe.

Find

How It Works

TRITON DETOX uses a specific form of humic acid — a natural substance found in freshwater systems from the breakdown of organics — to bind excess copper and lead in your aquarium water. The bound heavy metals are then removed by activated carbon (TRITON Carbon), completing the detoxification cycle.

  • Natural, non-toxic, completely reef-safe
  • Antibacterial and antiparasitic properties beneficial for fish
  • Safe for fish, coral, and invertebrates
  • Use only after ICP-OES analysis confirms elevated copper or lead
  • No water change required when used as directed

Your water will turn dark brown during treatment. This is normal and clears over time by skimming or by using TRITON CARBON after 3 days of treatment.

Dosage & Application

  1. Remove activated carbon and phosphate adsorber from your system
  2. Turn off ozone (if running)
  3. Dose 3ml per 100L system volume into an area with good water flow
  4. Keep skimmer running throughout treatment
  5. After 3 days: replace activated carbon
  6. After 1 week: replace activated carbon again
Dosage: 3ml per 100L Skill Level: Basic
Reduce skimmer output if overflow occurs due to increased skimming activity.
Problem Solver TRITON CYA-NO — reef-safe cyanobacteria inhibitor

CYA-NO

Cyanobacteria Inhibitor

1000ml · Liquid

Shifts your reef's environment away from conditions where cyanobacteria thrive — without antibiotics. Developed from TRITON's N:C:P ratio research.

Find

How It Works

TRITON CYA-NO creates an environment that promotes beneficial organisms competing with cyanobacteria. It influences N, I, P, K and B levels and the N:C:P ratio to slowly shift conditions away from those in which cyanobacteria thrive.

  • Reef-safe — no antibiotics, no heavy metals
  • Developed from TRITON's N-DOC lab testing and N:C:P ratio research
  • Works against most common cyanobacteria forms — not all varieties

For best results, pair with a TRITON N-DOC test for precise dosing based on your tank's actual nutrient levels.

If cyanobacteria increase after 4+ days of dosing, stop immediately — your specific variety may not respond to this product.

Dosage & Application

Skill Level: Basic to Intermediate
Problem Solver TRITON RTN-X — rapid tissue necrosis inhibitor for reef corals

RTN-X

RTN — Rapid Tissue Necrosis Inhibitor

100ml · Liquid

In-tank treatment that shocks attacking bacteria while fortifying the affected coral — an underwater dip applied directly in your aquarium. No antibiotics, no heavy metals.

Find

How It Works

TRITON RTN-X creates an environment within your aquarium that shocks the bacteria attacking the affected coral, while providing specific elements that fortify the coral under attack. The treatment is delivered as an intensive in-tank bath — the infected coral does not need to be removed.

  • Prepare solution with aquarium water and RTN-X — ready after 20 minutes
  • Minimise water flow around the affected coral for maximum effectiveness
  • No antibiotics, no heavy metals
  • If nutrient levels are known (via N-DOC testing), a ratio adjustment can be administered before the bath
RTN-X is not to be used for parasitic infections. Treat the symptoms, but always address the stressors causing the issue.

Dosage & Application

  • Mix RTN-X with aquarium water as directed — solution ready after 20 minutes
  • Apply directly to affected coral area with reduced water flow
  • Online calculator: triton-lab.de/calculators
  • Can also be used as a bath for freshly imported corals
Skill Level: Intermediate
Problem Solver TRITON STN-X — slow tissue necrosis inhibitor for reef corals

STN-X

STN — Slow Tissue Necrosis Inhibitor

100ml · Liquid

Targets the bacteria behind slow tissue loss with an intensive underwater dip applied directly in your aquarium. Same reef-safe approach as RTN-X — no antibiotics, no heavy metals.

Find

How It Works

TRITON STN-X works identically to RTN-X — an intensive in-tank bath that shocks attacking bacteria while fortifying the affected coral. The difference is in the formulation, optimised for the slower-progressing bacterial types behind STN.

  • Same reef-safe approach: no antibiotics, no heavy metals
  • Derived from TRITON's N-DOC research and N:C:P ratio science
  • Compatible with any reef system
STN-X is not to be used for parasitic infections.

Water Purity — The Foundation Your Reef Is Built On

TRITON filtration media are lab-tested at TRITON Labs to ensure zero contamination. TRITON AL99 removes phosphate with over 99 percent pure aluminium. TRITON Carbon removes toxins and pollutants. TRITON DI Resin produces ultra-pure RODI water. TRITON CO3 raises alkalinity by 3 dKH per 100ml without affecting other main parameters.

Clean water is the prerequisite for everything else. Every filtration and water treatment product from TRITON is lab-tested for purity at TRITON Labs — free from contaminants, free from unknown elements. Because what you don't put into your reef matters as much as what you do.

Water Purity TRITON AL99 — phosphate remover with over 99% purity

TRITON AL99

Phosphate Remover

1000ml · Granulate

Over 99% pure aluminium-based media. Removes phosphate, barium, and silicate from your aquarium. Lab-tested at TRITON Labs — free from contaminants.

Find

How It Works

TRITON AL99 is an aluminium-based phosphate remover with over 99% purity. It removes phosphate as its primary function, plus barium and silicate as secondary benefits. Lab-tested at TRITON Labs — free from unknown elements.

  • Over 99% pure — maximum performance, no unwanted contaminants
  • Also effective for freshwater systems
  • If ICP-OES shows rising aluminium levels: alternate with GFO-based media
Must be rinsed thoroughly with RODI water until fizzing stops before use. Do not tumble in a reactor — reactor must have flow regulation.

Dosage & Application

Water Purity TRITON DI Resin — deionising resin for ultra-pure RODI water

TRITON DI

Deionising Resin

1000ml · Granulate

Professional-grade resin for producing ultra-pure RODI water. Removes contaminants that reverse osmosis alone cannot eliminate — including diatom-promoting silicate. Lab-tested at TRITON Labs.

Find

How It Works

TRITON DI Resin is an ultra-pure deionising resin for use with reverse osmosis systems to produce ultra-pure RODI water. A reverse osmosis unit alone does not remove all contaminants — including diatom-promoting silicate. DI resin is the final purification stage that ensures truly pure water.

  • Effectively removes harmful ions, minerals, and contaminants that RO misses
  • Prevents unwanted fluctuations in pH, hardness, and water quality
  • TRITON recommends 2 DI pods inline after the last RO stage
Do NOT rinse DI resin before use.

Dosage & Application

  1. Place DI resin in a suitable DI pod/container
  2. Install inline AFTER the last reverse osmosis stage
  3. Use 2 DI pods for maximum purity
  4. Install an in-line TDS meter with sensors on both sides of the first DI pod
  5. When TDS meter reads 001 on the input sensor: replace both pods

  • Only the TRITON N-DOC test can determine your actual alkalinity — verify your home test kit accuracy
Ensure your alkalinity test kit is accurate before adjusting KH.

Dosage & Application

  • Dose: 100ml per 100L aquarium water = raises alkalinity by 3 dKH
  • Test alkalinity daily during adjustment period
  • Add to an area with good water flow
Dosage: 100ml per 100L = +3 dKH Skill Level: Basic

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Reef Treatments

TRITON CYA-NO is a reef-safe cyanobacteria inhibitor that works by shifting environmental conditions — promoting beneficial organisms that compete with cyano. It contains no antibiotics or heavy metals. For best results, pair with a TRITON N-DOC test to understand your tank's N:C:P ratio before treatment. If cyanobacteria increase after 4 days of treatment, stop dosing — your specific variety may not respond to this product.

RTN is a fast-spreading bacterial infection that can destroy coral tissue within hours. TRITON RTN-X creates an in-tank environment that shocks the attacking bacteria while providing elements that fortify the affected coral — the treatment works inside your aquarium. RTN-X is not effective against parasitic infections. Always address the underlying stressors causing the outbreak.

Every TRITON treatment is formulated without antibiotics and without heavy metals. TRITON DETOX, TRITON CYA-NO, TRITON RTN-X, and TRITON STN-X are all reef-safe — tested and developed by TRITON's science team. Filtration media (TRITON Carbon, TRITON AL99, TRITON DI Resin) are lab-tested at TRITON Labs to ensure they are free from contaminants and unknown elements.

TRITON recommends replacing activated carbon every 4-6 weeks. Use 100ml of TRITON Carbon per 100L of aquarium water. Always rinse thoroughly with RODI water before use — fine carbon dust can irritate coral polyps. Place in a reactor with flow slow enough to prevent tumbling.

TRITON AL99 is an aluminium-based phosphate remover with over 99% purity. It also removes barium and silicate. Dose 50ml per 100L (up to 100ml for high phosphate levels), replace every 4 weeks. Rinse thoroughly with RODI water until fizzing stops before use. If ICP-OES shows rising aluminium levels, alternate with a GFO-based media.
