Since 2017 we have been offering advanced Organic analysis to our customers whilst in the background also conducting scientific work to better understand the power of our innovations.
This time consuming task is what makes TRITON different and is the only way to practically use the data that we can measure in a real world.
We are pleased to now share this information with you to help increase your understanding of this complex subject.
Introducing
The TRITON ‘REEFKEEPING’ Ratios
The practice of closed system reefkeeping has improved significantly since accurate, cost effective ICP testing of seawater became widely available to marine aquarists. However, the view that reef systems can be understood primarily in terms of the depletion of inorganic elements ignores the complex interplay between organic chemistry and the biology of reef systems: animals, plants, bacteria, cyanobacteria and fungi.
To deal with this some have used biochemical proxies ( e.g. Redfield ratio ) derived from analysis of plankton in the open ocean as a guideline for the behaviour of seawater in closed reef systems. Here, based on modelling of a large database of closed system reef tank seawater analyses, we can report this assumption to be misguided. Instead we propose a suite of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus ratios (TRITON Ratios) for use in closed reef systems.
Using N-DOC (CHNS elemental analyser) testing to produce the TRITON ratios it is now possible to infer the presence of various carbon and nitrogen species and their behaviour in previously unmeasured metabolic pathways making it possible to control and manipulate closed system seawater chemistry for increased system stability.
