Any news guys? When’s the update coming out? This week raying [emoji4]
@randyBRS how does triton method compare to ATI dosing and testing? Maybe a comparison of the 2
I can't say we've implemented the ATI version to the same degree that we are currently following the Triton Method. This would be interesting to compare and really cool for an experiment for someone to try out and share their results! I don't see us chasing down this one specifically, but I wouldn't be surprised if a fellow reefer ended up trying both out.

C'MON BRS !! We need that Triton BRS160 update. Are you hiding something?
Having followed BRS since I began the hobby, I've come to hold them to a certain standard for open-mindedness and a lack of bias when exploring different methods and techniques. While I still think much of the information in this video is fantastic and sheds a whole new light on reef keeping, I'm getting a sense in the more recent videos of a forceful push for certain products that go against those said principles.
I love the idea of no water changes and I think everyone does but the argument in this video seems very much one sided. I see the two different methods in very much the same light as two-part and a calcium reactor. Either method cannot be generalized as better than the other but rather the demand of a given system will make one choice more or less feasible than the other. In the case of water changes, I'll use my Red Sea Reefer 250 as an example. For the same cost as three Triton tests, I can buy three buckets of Red Sea salt. With those three buckets, I can do 10% weekly water changes and three consecutive 50% water changes twice over the course of a year. Surely, this argument only becomes stronger as your system volume decreases and weaker as the volume increases. Additionally, I think something can always be said for simplicity. While more laborious, water changes remains one of the simplest methods of obtaining NSW parameters and performing a system reset. To conclude, I feel this video and the others highlighting the Triton really fail to mention these points and bring a well-balanced educational video to the saltwater community that upholds BRS. I hope I don't sound too bitter or reluctant to change and would love others if of the same opinion to speak up and invite those who disagree to chime in.
As always, thanks for reading!
Well this is your lucky week! Stay tuned for Friday's BRStv Episode.
Any news on the next update video guys? Keen to see the progress you’re getting [emoji1303]
Well it is a business, I’m sure they don’t sell anything that they don’t make a profit on
I finally hooked up my IceCap controllers to my two Gyre 150's. It's been 10 minutes and I already love being able to adjust their programming from within Fusion.
To start, I've cut-pasted in the profiles as provided in the update video (didn't find the shared scheme till after I'd done that). Works good - yay; much better. But I've got each Gyre taking up two variable-speed ports, so I can control direction as well... Has there been anything done in this regard on the BRS 160? If so; care to share any new code here? If not; is there a reason this would not be a good thing to look into?
Would any of you guys have a rough estimate of what it might cost to run the Triton method on, approximately, a 400 gallon system? I'm sure that might be tough to answer being its most likely dependant on bio load but perhaps some one can toss me an example?
