Parameters:

Salinity: 35

Alk: 8-9

Dose:

5 ml all Core 7 daily

Age: 3 years old tank, started with 20 gallons after 2 years upgraded to 65 gallon.

Week 1

Switched to Full Triton Method from kalkwasser, Fuel, and every other week water changes.

Main motivation is getting tired of the guesswork on what may be missing for ideal coral habitat.

Coral Observations:

These are observations that I did not see when the tank was on the prior method.

The red goniopora closes during the day.

Octospawns close during the day.

Parameter Observations:

For some reason the alkalinity is staying high at over 9.

The recommendation is to start with 5ml dosing for 65 gallons.

PH is stable around 8
