Core7 Base Flex Elements- Comprehensive Reef Tank Dosing
- Customizable – two, three or four-part dosing
- High Concentration
- Includes all necessary trace elements
- Easy to mix
Not designed for use with the Triton Method - If you are utilizing the Triton Method, check out Triton's Core7 Flex Base Elements.
Triton Core7 Reef Supplements are an ionically balanced, super concentrated dosing system for reef aquariums of all kinds and have been specifically developed for tanks that are not using the entire Triton Method. Replace your current dosing regimen, calcium reactor, or kalkwasser reactor with the simple solutions that include all necessary elements in a balanced formula.
Triton Core7 Flex can be mixed into two, three, or four parts, depending on your needs. For example, you can use the two-part solution to free up dosing pump heads. Or, if you’re looking for the most customizability (like adjusting calcium and magnesium separately from each other), you can use the three or four-part solutions.

Dosing Core7 Base Elements
We highly suggest using Triton ICP-OES testing to establish a baseline, and for dosing recommendations. Prior to dosing, your aquarium's alkalinity should be adjusted to 8 dKH. Alkalinity testing should be done daily for the first couple weeks so that consumption can be adjusted accordingly.
- Periodic testing with Triton Labs is highly encouraged to help fine tune your water chemistry.
- Dosing in smaller tanks can be done by diluting each bottle with RO/DI water.
Use with Dosing Pumps
It is highly recommended to use an accurate dosing pump. Due to the super concentrated nature of the elements, it is required to dose into a high flow area of the sump, ideally right before the refugium or display tank with a minimum of 5-minute intervals between solutions being dosed. It is also recommended to not dose more than 2mL per 26 gallons of water volume in a single dose.
