We detected elements in your water that can be harmful for your tank.
More information about each element is listed below.

To remedy this we recommend carrying out 6 x 15% water changes with Tropic Marin Pro salt or Red Sea Salt (blue bucket), spread over 6 weeks

Ca

The analysis has found that the Calcium levels are low.

For the animals kept in your your chosen Habitat this is not a significant issue.
We still advise to maintain the level within the recommended range by following the dosage advice as it helps improve the general look of your aquarium.

Al

Low levels of Aluminium have been found in your system.

Although not as dangerous at very low levels it is important that you check your system for any possible contaminations. To assist you in finding the source of error, we have listed them the most common sources of aluminium (sorted in descending order of frequency):

1. Aluminium based Phosphate remover
2. Zeolite
3. Metals in water

Use ROWAphos or Phosban phosphate remover media to remove the aluminium.

P

The analysis has found a low phosphorus / phosphate level in the aquarium.

In case of problems we recommend to remove/reduce the phosphate absorber from the system and to increase feeding.

If that is not the way you want to solve the problem, you can also supplement Phosphorus / Phosphate.

Please note that the dosage of Phosphorus is calculated based on the habitat you have chosen.
The P-value is part of your nutrient ratio (N:C:P ratio).

Any change should be administered with caution and with consideration of your N-value that can be obtained via your TRITON NDOC lab test.

Please contact us for further support on hello@triton.de

S

Your Sulphur levels are slightly low.

Monitor with future ICP-OES tests.

Li

Your Lithium levels are too high.

Check for possible contamination source. To help you in your search for the source of error, we have listed them the most common lithium sources (sorted in descending order of frequency):

1. Trace element overdose / contamination
2. Contaminated salts / contaminated magnesium salts
3. Artificial Rock/ Reef ceramics
4. Food

K

P

The analysis has found a low phosphorus / phosphate level in the aquarium.
In case of problems we recommend to remove/reduce the phosphate absorber from the system and to increase feeding.

For problems with Cyanobacteria, the product that best suits your system is:

TRITON Organic Supplements P Beta

For a fish tank without algae/Cyanobacteria problems the product that is best suited is:

TRITON Organic Supplements P Alpha

Please contact us for further support on hello@triton.de
