When used in conjunction with TRITON Lab ICP testing aquarists are now able to make targeted single element adjustments. Only TRITON delivers advanced aquarium husbandry with ease-of-use. For dosage information please check the DOSE tab of your ICP analysis.

The TRITON macro and trace element supplements range is supported by over a decade of scientific research into the chemistry of natural and closed system seawater.

Compatibility

Skill level: Intermediate. TRITON grade their 18 elements Basic, Intermediate and Advanced. Zinc is Intermediate, and their warning on it is blunt: dangerous if dosed incorrectly — follow ICP-OES recommendations only.

This is not a supplement you dose on a schedule. It is a correction you make because a laboratory told you to. TRITON’s whole method is ICP-OES analysis first, supplement second: you send a water sample to a TRITON lab, the results come back with 45 parameters measured to parts-per-billion, and the DOSE tab of that report tells you the correction dose to reach the set point and the maintenance dose to hold it there. Without that report there is no dose — TRITON publish none, because the right answer depends on your water.

The one diagnostic worth knowing before you buy. TRITON note that zinc deficiency makes new coral growth look burnt or damaged — and that this is routinely mistaken for a lighting problem. If your tips are burning, check your zinc level before you turn your lights down.

What zinc does: it drives enzyme processes, and those enzymatic reactions are what LPS and SPS corals need for growth, colour and general health.

Marine reef aquariums only. This is a seawater supplement, formulated against natural seawater concentrations. It has no application in a freshwater tank.

Where it sits next to Core7. TRITON Core7 Base Elements cover the daily calcium, alkalinity and magnesium demand. The single-element supplements exist to correct the specific imbalances Core7 cannot reach. They work alongside Core7, not instead of it — and TRITON are firm that when a single element is low you correct it with that element’s own supplement rather than by increasing your Core7 dose, which would push everything else up with it.

How TRITON ask you to add it: dose into an area of high flow, so it disperses before it can contact anything at full strength. Across the range TRITON also ask you to leave five minutes between adjusting different elements — do not pour several corrections in together. And check that the tank volume in your TRITON Aquarium Profile is right before you calculate anything: TRITON warn specifically that a wrong volume produces wrong dosage information, and net water volume is always less than the tank’s nominal size once rock and sand are in it.

The alternative, if 15 bottles is too many. TRITON’s MYTE service (Master Your Trace Elements) blends 15 elements — boron, bromine, chromium, cobalt, fluoride, iodine, iron, lithium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, potassium, strontium, vanadium and zinc — into two custom bottles recalculated each month from your latest ICP results. If you are dosing more than a few elements individually, that is the route TRITON themselves point you to.

You will need the test. We stock the TRITON ICP-OES Test alongside these supplements. If you have not tested, buy the test first — a single-element supplement bought without one is a guess in an expensive bottle.

Pack Size

100 ml. That is the only size TRITON publish for zinc — unlike iodine and manganese, which they also offer in a litre, zinc comes in the small bottle alone.

It is not a limitation in practice. Trace elements are consumed in micrograms per litre, and an ICP-guided correction is measured in millilitres, so 100 ml of a single-element trace supplement is a long-lived bottle on a normal reef.
