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 Red Sea Salt (blue bucket), spread over 6 weeks

Li

Your Lithium levels are slightly low.

Please dose as recommended in the DOSE tab.

B

Your Boron levels are too low.

Please dose as recommended in the DOSE tab.

As

High levels of Arsenic have been found in your system.

As Arsenic can be very dangerous to you aquarium you should first try to find the contamination source. To assist you in finding the source of error, we have listed the most common arsenic sources (sorted in descending order of frequency):
1. Trace element overdose / contamination
2. Contaminated salts
3. Food

Sb

High levels of Antimony have been found in your system.

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

1. Plastic parts (no silicone) in contact with the water, for example, green tubes
2. Trace Element overdose / contamination
3. Contaminated salts
4. Food

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

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 0.01ml for 1 day.

We recommend a daily maintenance dose of 0.00ml. 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 7 days. For the first 6 days the daily dosage should be 0.1ml. On the last day please use 0.03ml.

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 of 0.00ml for 1 day.

V

We have detected a lack of vanadium.
A vanadium dosage may have the following advantages for your aquarium:
- Can have a positive effect on the growth of sponges, sea squirts and SPS and LPS corals
- Can promote a better polyp extension
- May intensify the color of Acropora and Montipora
To restore the natural value, please note our dosing recommendation.
To keep this value, please note our maintenance dose. For calculating the maintenance dose proceed as follows:
1st Test: dose maintenance dose xml
2nd Test: old maintenance dosing xml (from the 1st test) + new maintenance dose meter (from the 2nd test) XML.
3. Test:: old maintenance dosing xml (from the 1st test) + old maintenance dosing xml (from the 2nd test) + new maintenance dose xml meter (from the 3rd Test).
4. Test: see above. Thereafter, the dosage should not be increased, even though the analysis indicates a value of 0.

We recommend the corrective dosage of 0.00ml for 1 day.

We recommend a daily maintenance dose of 0.00ml. If this dose is very low, then this can be alternatively be dosed weekly (daily dose x7).

Mn

We have detected a lack of manganese.
A Manganese dose may have the following advantages for your aquarium:
- Can be useful for keeping LPS corals, for example, Goniopora respond very positively to Manganese dosage
- Can promote better polyp extension
To restore the natural value, please refer to our recommended dosage.
To keep this value, refer to our maintenance dose. For calculating the maintenance dose proceed as follows:
1 Test: dose maintenance dose xml
2 Test: old maintenance dosing xml (from the 1st test) + new maintenance dose (from the 2nd test) xml dosing.
3 Test:: old maintenance dosing xml (from the 1st test) + old maintenance dosing xml (from the 2nd test) + new maintenance dose xml meter (from the 3rd Test). Thereafter, the dosage should not be increased, even though the analysis indicates a value of 0.

We recommend the corrective dosage be carried out over 2 days. For the first 2 days the daily dosage should be 0.01ml.

We recommend a daily maintenance dose of 0.00ml. If this dose is very low, then this can be alternatively be dosed weekly (daily dose x7).

Fe

An iron dose may provide the following potential benefits in your aquarium:

May support metabolic processes within the aquarium ecosystem

May improve the overall health of LPS and SPS corals

1. May promote the growth of macroalgae and can therefore be useful in systems designed to cultivate algae

2. In species-specific aquariums, such as seahorse tanks, iron dosing may encourage algae growth and help create a more natural environment

If clams are present in the aquarium, overdosing should be avoided.

Important: The natural concentration of iron in seawater is extremely low and typically below detectable limits.

If you decide to dose iron, begin with the recommended dosage listed below and regularly test your water through our laboratory.

If iron becomes detectable in your test results, this indicates that the element has been overdosed and the dosage should be reduced immediately.

If desired, the dosage can then be increased slowly over time until a positive effect is observed.

We recommend the corrective dosage be carried out over 40 days. For the first 40 days the daily dosage should be 0.0005ml.

Ni

Warning, dangerous element for the aquarium. Dosage for professional, experienced aquarists only!
A nickel dose may have the following advantages for your aquarium:
- Can improve the color image of coral
- Can improve the overall health of LPS and SPS corals
Attention, the concentration of nickel in natural seawater is so low that it can not be detected. If a dose is desired, begin with the recommended dosage listed below and test the value regularly in our laboratory. If nickel are detected, they have overdosed and should adjust the dose immediately. You can increase the dosage of nickel slowly until they see a positive effect.

We recommend the corrective dosage be carried out over 2 days. For the first 2 days the daily dosage should be 0.02ml.
