Gauging Interest-Triton Water Test(ICP-OES) Group Buy

We will offer a discount on Triton ICP-OES Test Kits for everyone here if we meet some criteria. First, Triton water tests are MAP priced so this is a special we're offering after getting permission. See the group buy section for pricing and signup." Second, someone in the Des Moines area will need to be the hub for distributing the test kits for those who buy as we cannot ship these out to different people/regions due to the special pricing. Those in the other Regions (W'loo/CF, etc) can pick them up at TNT Corals in Marshalltown or, in Ds Ms if that individual agrees. We would suggest a member from each region to pick up that Regions' tests. Third, we need "at least 20 kits" ordered to make this work. ***Bud will be assisting by posting in the Group Buy section. Thanks Bud!***

To give a little info, our club has had water testing group buys in the past from Aquarium Water Testing. TNT believes that Triton is a better test and we use it! You may already be a Triton user, or, have heard about the Triton Method lately. The Triton brand is fairly new in the United States, having only debuted here in the US 3 years ago. Since then, it has gained enormous interest and support. The people who use Triton, love it. It takes much of the guess work out of the hobby, replacing it with science, data and guidance, providing all of the necessary tools for success and continued success!

Triton's ICP-OES allow you to test 36 different elemental parameters!! Your water is sent to Germany where it is tested with state of the art technology at the Triton lab. A kit costs a couple dollars to mail. Knowing exactly what is in your water, allows you to dose only the elements deficient to maintain NSW levels. Triton’s web based software instructs exactly what your tank needs to get back to natural sea water conditions and points out it's most likely sources of problems when conditions are off.

If you are a user of Triton ICP-OES, feel free to post your thoughts about the testing and your experience(s)! Also, you may want to purchase at least 2 test kits. The reason for this is to get the initial results. Then after making any corrections if needed/desired, send a second test in to see if you indeed have gotten the problems corrected.

This special group buy is time sensitive so let's get some feedback by September 8th.


***Do not know how to do a poll so if someone does for this, feel free to do so!***
