Triton AL99 Phosphate Remover | High-Purity Aluminum Oxide Media

Triton AL99 Phosphate Remover – High-Purity Aluminum-Based Media

Triton AL99 is a premium, high-capacity phosphate adsorber based on activated aluminum oxide (Al2O3). Engineered specifically for the rigorous requirements of the Triton Method, AL99 is designed to aggressively remove inorganic phosphate (PO4) and silicate (SiO4) from marine aquarium water. Unlike low-quality alternatives, AL99 undergoes a specialized manufacturing process to ensure maximum surface area and an extremely low impurity profile. This results in rapid nutrient reduction and crystal-clear water, helping to prevent nuisance algae growth and promoting the healthy calcification of stony corals

Targeted Nutrient Control & Purity Management

Triton AL99 is the preferred chemical filtration media for reef keepers who prioritize stability and the removal of yellowing substances.

• Rapid Phosphate Adsorption: Effectively binds orthophosphates on contact, making it an ideal tool for managing high nutrient loads or preventing phosphate spikes.

• Silicate Removal: Highly effective at stripping silicates from the water column, which helps eliminate diatoms and "brown slime" outbreaks.

• Barium & Pollutant Sequestration: Unique among adsorbers, AL99 also helps to reduce levels of Barium and other heavy metal contaminants identified in ICP testing.

• High Surface Area: The specialized spherical shape and internal pore structure provide a massive surface area for chemical bonding, ensuring long-lasting performance.

• Steam-Activated Purity: Processed to be exceptionally clean, minimizing the risk of leaching unwanted elements back into the aquarium during the filtration process.

FAQ Section: Common Questions

• How much Triton AL99 should I use? The recommended dose is 50 ml of AL99 per 100 L (26 US gal) of aquarium water. However, if your phosphate levels are extremely high, you should start with a smaller amount and increase it gradually to avoid shocking your corals.

• How should I use this media? For best results, place AL99 in a fluidized media reactor with a slow-to-moderate flow rate. It can also be used in a fine-mesh filter bag placed in a high-flow area of the sump.

• Does it need to be rinsed? Yes. Like all aluminum-based media, AL99 should be rinsed thoroughly with RO/DI water before use to remove any dust generated during transport, which can cause temporary irritation to some corals.

• How often should I replace it? In most systems, the media should be replaced every 4 weeks. If your phosphate levels begin to rise again before the month is over, it is a sign that the media has become saturated and needs replacement.
