Empowered reefkeeping starts with actionable water data The Triton ICP-OES Water Test — Full Panel of 32 Elements brings a level of detail reefkeepers have long wanted
Using Inductively Coupled Plasma–Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES), the test analyzes seawater samples at high temperature to reveal precise concentrations across a broad range of elements
The results are delivered in a clean, easy-to-read dashboard, turning complex lab data into practical insights you can reference when planning adjustments for your reef tank
This approach helps you understand the nuances of your water chemistry and how it may influence coral growth, coloration, and overall tank stability—without overpromising outcomes
What’s included in the panel The full panel targets 32 elements, spanning major ions and trace metals
This granularity helps you spot imbalances—whether something is missing or rising toward levels that may warrant attention
The depth of data can support more informed decisions about supplementation or management strategies that align with the unique needs of a saltwater reef ecosystem
Major ions and trace elements grouped for clarity: Na, Ca, Mg, K, Sr Additional elements tiered for quick reference: B, Br, S, Li, Be Further metals and metalloids: Ba, Ti, V, Cr, Mn Iron group and beyond: Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn Supplementary trace and impact elements: Al, Si, As, Sb, Sn, Cd, Se, Mo, Hg, P (PO4), Pb, I How you can use the data Understand what’s missing or excessive to guide precise adjustments
Identify elements that may benefit from targeted supplementation with high-purity inputs
Review results in a straightforward format that supports tracking trends over time
Plan reef-wide chemistry tweaks to support coral growth, color, and overall health without guessing
Consider starting with a baseline of multiple tests to build a reliable picture of your tank’s chemistry
While the data can illuminate pathways for optimization, it does not outcomes
Use the results as a guide to informed decision-making, and remember Triton’s guidance suggests building a small test sequence to establish a baseline and refine your approach as you go
