Triton34-v2 Sump Trigger Systems

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 TRITON34 refugium will hold over 10 gallons when at the highest water level setting (11.5″) allowing it to support tanks up to 100-150 gallons. The V2 design incorporates a larger refugium and a larger skimmer section. We also added a filter sock holder on the main inputs for mechanical filtration to polish the water from time to time if needed. This feature allows you to move back to the more traditional filtration method with filter socks in the future. A third configurable 1″ input fitting is provided that can be placed in the skimmer section or the return area. Lastly, the V2 design comes with an additional 1/4″ quick connect input in the front refugium section for dosing that requires more turbulent flow.

Some of the features of the TRITON34 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 TRITON34 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.
