Important notes for usage
Please do not dose the TRITON Core7 Base Elements simultaneously or mix
the soluions, with the exeption of 3A and 3B.
Core7 Base Elements should be dosed into an area of high current,
preferably into the algae refugium. There should be a minimum of 5 minutes
between dosing each solution.
The maximum single dosage should not exceed 4ml per 100L of aquarium
water. Any dosage of a higher amount should be split into mulitple doses
throughout the day. We recommend that doses are administered via a
reliable dosing pump.

How do I use Core7?
Core7 Base Elements are used in the same way as the original Base Elements
within the TRITON Method:
Initial dose is 2ml per 100l aquarium volume of each bottle.
Dosage should be the same for each of the Core7 solutions, 1, 2, 3a and 3b.
After a day carbonate hardness should be measured, the target should be
8dKH. If the carbonate hardness falls (as of 8dKH to 7 dKH), the dosage
should be increased. If the carbonate hardness increases (e.g. 8dKH on 9dKH),
then the dosage should be reduced.
If the salinity increases through the use of Core7 Base Elements, please refer
to the aquarium water calculator:

Other additional information
For mixing 3a and 3b:
Should you wish to combine 3a and 3b together in order to save a dosing unit,
please note that solution must dispensed at twice the amount of the others.
Sample calculation:
100ml Core7 base element 1, 100ml Core7 base element 2, 200ml Core7 base
element 3a + 3b mixed
To dilute:
Core7 base element can be diluted to increase the single daily dose or when
the tank is smaller in order to compensate the dosage inaccuracy of dosing
pumps. Only ultrapure RO/DI water should be used.
