Why Standard Test Kits Fall Short
You test calcium, alkalinity, maybe magnesium. But your reef depends on dozens of elements you cannot measure at home — trace metals at concentrations a thousand times smaller than standard kits detect.
Most reef problems that appear suddenly were brewing for weeks — below what any home test can see.

What Does a TRITON ICP Test Measure?
45 elements across five groups at parts-per-billion precision
Trace Elements
Micronutrients corals need — invisible to standard tests.
Unwanted Metals
Can stress or kill corals even at ppb — accumulate silently.
Nutrients
Phosphorus and phosphate — algae and coral growth indicators.
Others
Salinity provides context for all measurements.

N-DOC — Go Beyond Elements
N-DOC is TRITON's proprietary organic carbon test — TIC, TOC, and TNb — revealing dissolved organics and nitrogen compounds that drive algae, bacterial imbalances, and coral stress. Available as a separate test alongside ICP.

Frequently Asked Questions
ICP-OES is laboratory water analysis measuring 45 elements at parts-per-billion precision — the full picture including trace elements and heavy metals invisible to home kits.
Approximately 24–48 hours after your sample arrives at the lab. Five labs on four continents minimise shipping time.
TRITON Method users: every 2–3 months. New or problem tanks: more frequently to establish a baseline.
TRITON uses ICP-OES for optimal balance of precision, reliability, and matrix tolerance in seawater — validated across 500,000+ saltwater samples.
