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

Cu

The analysis has found an elevated level of Copper in the aquarium.
This could be the result of fish medication.

For your chosen Habitat this is not of concern unless it reaches levels higher than 100ppb

Countermeasure: TRITON DETOX should be applied before the water changes.

Application DETOX: Take activated carbon and Phosphate media out of the system, add 3ml Detox / 100l of aquarium water. After 3 days, put on fresh activated carbon (Phosphate media can now also be introduced again), activated carbon should be changed after 7 days.

Ba

Your Barium levels are slightly elevated.

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

1. Phosphate iron-based (except ROWAphos or PhosBan)
2. Contaminated salts
3. Contaminated trace elements, in particular strontium
4. Dried fishfood

Monitor with future ICP-OES tests.
Use TRITON AL99 PO4 remover to remove Barium

Fe

Your Iron levels are too high.

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

1. Trace element overdose / contamination
2. Metals near or in the aquarium (as rusty clamps or screws)
3. Iron based Phosphate remover (too much flow in reactor)
4. Low pH in the aquarium

Co

Your Cobalt levels are slightly elevated.

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

1. Trace element overdose / contamination
2. Metals near or in the aquarium (as rusty clamps or screws)
3. Contaminated salts

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

Mn

Your Manganese levels are too high.

Check for possible contamination source. To assist you in finding the source of error, we have listed the most common sources of iodine (sorted in descending order of frequency):

1. Trace element overdose / contamination
2. Contaminated salts

V

Your Vanadium levels are too high.

Check for possible contamination source. To assist you in finding the source of error, we have listed the most common sources of vanadium (sorted in descending order of frequency):

1. Trace element overdose
2. Reef ceramics
3. Contaminated salts

Zn

Your Zinc levels are too high.

Check for possible contamination source. To assist you in finding the source of error, we have listed the most common sources of zinc (sorted in descending order of frequency):

1. Contaminated trace elements
2. Hand Cream applied before working in the aquarium
3. Contaminated salts

Ni

Your Nickel levels are dangerously high.

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

1. Trace element overdose / contamination
2. metals near or in the aquarium (as rusty clamps or screws)
3. Contaminated salts

Cu

We have detected copper in your aquarium, this can be a dangerous metal for reef aquariums. Please try to find the reason for the contamination.


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

1. Contaminated trace element solutions
2. Bio-pellets
3. Contaminated salts
4. Contaminated food
5. Corroding metals or magnets near the water

Countermeasure: TRITON DETOX should be applied before the water changes.

Application DETOX: Take activated carbon and Phosphate media out of the system, add 3ml Detox / 100l of aquarium water. After 3 days, put on fresh activated carbon (Phosphate media can now also be introduced again), activated carbon should be changed after 7 days.

Sn

High levels of Tin have been found in your system.

As Tin can be very dangerous to you aquarium you should first try to find the contamination source. To help you in finding the source of error, we have listed the most common sources of tin (sorted in descending order of frequency):

1. Contaminated trace elements
2. Metals near or in the aquarium (as rusty clamps or screws)
3. Contaminated salts

Very important for your aquarium

K

We have detected a lack of potassium.
A potassium dose may have the following advantages for your aquarium:
- Can promote the coloring of SPS
- Can have a positive effect on the bacterial flora
To restore the natural value, they refer to our recommended dosage.

We recommend the corrective dosage of 6.55g for 1 day.

If you have the 1000ml version please visit this link to re-calculate your dosage.

Important for your aquarium

I

We have detected a lack of iodine.
A Iodine dose can have the following benefits for your aquarium:
- Improves overall health of SPS corals and macroalgae
- Promotes metabolic processes in the reef aquarium
- Can be helpful against parasites and inhibit their reproduction
To restore the natural value, please refer to our recommended dosage.

We recommend the corrective dosage of 2.73ml for 1 day.

We recommend a daily maintenance dose of 0.27ml. If this dose is very low, then this can be alternatively be dosed weekly (daily dose x7).

B

We have detected a lack of boron.
A boron dosage can have the following benefits for your aquarium:
- Stabilization of the pH value in the aquarium
- Can promote the colour and health of SPS and LPS
To restore the natural value, please refer to our recommended dosage.

We recommend the corrective dosage be carried out over 2 days. For the first day the dosage should be 34.1ml. On the last day please use 34.06ml.

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

We recommend the corrective dosage be carried out over 3 days. For the first 2 days the daily dosage should be 0.341ml. On the last day please use 0.29ml.

Fine-tuning Level 1 ( Basic )

Mo

We have detected a lack of molybdenum.
A molybdenum dose may have the following advantages for your aquarium:
- Can promote enzymatic processes in the reef aquarium
- Can promote the color of SPS and LPS
- Too high a dosage of molybdenum can be detrimental to the aquarium, please dose carefully.
To restore the natural value, please refer to our recommended dosage.

We recommend the corrective dosage of 6.82ml for 1 day.
