The Triton series is designed to work with the Triton method
which is becoming increasingly popular as it does not require water changes,
which no one enjoys. One of the main requirements for the Triton method is to
have a refugium sized at roughly 10% of the display tank volume. The TRITON26
refugium will hold over 6 gallons when at the highest water level setting
(11.5″) allowing it to support tanks up to around 75 gallons. The V2 design
incorporates a filter sock holder on the main inputs for mechanical filtration
to polish the water from time to time if needed. Also, this feature allows you
to move back to the more traditional filtration method with filter socks in the
future. Some of the features of the TRITON26 are:
- Refugium
clear polycarbonate lid
- Algae
blocker
- Independent
water level control in refugium and skimmer sections
- Two 4″
Filter Socks included
- Additional
1″ input that can be placed in skimmer or return area
- Cable/Hose
organizers
- Media
platform with foam filter block
- Laser
engraved water level indicator
- Four
position countersunk probe holder
- Quick
connect 1/4″ hose input fittings for dosing and ATO inputs, one in
refugium section and four in return section
- Aquamarine
blue coloring accents, solid white bottom and smoke back and around
refugium section to block light and prevent unwanted algae growth in other
sections
The TRITON26 has 3 main sections. Water enters the sump
through the dual input fittings. A filter sock holder allows for placing 4″
filter socks under each input. Water then flows through the large refugium
section that has a lid to prevent noise and water evaporation. Water then flows
through the overflow teeth in the adjustable wall into Section 2.
Section 2 is typically where the protein skimmer is located.
Water purposely exits Section 2 by flowing under the aquamarine wall to allow
proteins to remain at the surface maximizing the potential for the protein
skimmer to extract from the system. The water then flows through the media
platform and foam filter block into Section 3. The media platform can be used
to allow for several different filtration methods (bag of carbon, bio balls,
bio media, rubble rock, etc.).
Section 3 is the return section where the return pump will
sit, pumping water back to the display tank.
