ATI Essentials vs Triton

Chicagoreef2016 · 12/09/2017, 02:30 PM

I know ATI Essentials is relatively new over here in the US, does anyone have any experience with either that or Triton, and why you may have picked one va the other? Triton seems to make a lot of sense to me in that you test and dose based off of the results. Happy for opinions/experiences.

Bump to the top. Who is using which and why?

Ive just started using ATI, switched from Red Sea, the cost of the Essentials is cheap. In the uk its £30 for 3 x 1ltr bottles that mix to 3 x 10ltrs of dosing fluids. The essentials have the majority of the trace elements in them too. You send off your ICP test & dose accordingly.

I have no experience with either but I will be doing ATI simply because I do not need the sump with algae, turnover rates, and cost. ATI comes off as less finicky than Triton and seems to offer the same benefits.

There is the 'Triton Method' line of elements, & then there's the 'Triton Other Methods' line for people who don't use the algae fuge system.
The trace elements differ between the two lines.

This is a good question because I have been curious of difference between the two
