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

Triton AL99 is a premium, high-capacity phosphate adsorber based on activated aluminum oxide ( $Al_2O_3$ ). Engineered specifically for the rigorous requirements of the Triton Method, AL99 is designed to aggressively remove inorganic phosphate ( $PO_4$ ) and silicate ( $SiO_4$ ) 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.
