Triton STN-X 100ml – Targeted Treatment for Slow Tissue Necrosis

Triton STN-X is a specialized, reef-safe treatment designed to combat Slow Tissue Necrosis (STN) in marine stony corals (SPS). STN is a frustrating condition where coral tissue slowly peels away from the base or tips, often caused by bacterial imbalances, environmental stress, or microscopic parasites. Unlike harsh antibiotics that can crash a biological filter, STN-X works by supporting the coral's natural immune system and creating an environment that is hostile to the pathogens responsible for tissue decay. This 100ml concentrated solution is an essential "first-aid" tool for reef keepers looking to halt tissue loss before it consumes entire colonies.

Coral Rescue & Immune System Support

STN-X provides a non-antibiotic approach to managing one of the most common causes of coral mortality in the hobby.

• Halts Tissue Peeling: Specifically formulated to stop the slow, progressive loss of tissue typically seen in Acropora, Montipora, and other sensitive SPS species.

• Reef-Safe Formula: Does not harm beneficial nitrifying bacteria, macro-algae, or invertebrates like snails and shrimp when used as directed.

• Immune Modulation: Contains a blend of organic compounds that help the coral host fight off infections and repair damaged tissue areas.

• Parasite & Pathogen Deterrent: Creates a protective barrier on the coral surface that discourages the colonization of harmful bacteria and opportunistic protozoans.

• Emergency Intervention: Ideal for use at the first sign of "white base" or receding margins, providing a window of time to correct underlying water chemistry issues.

FAQ Section: Common Questions

• How do I use Triton STN-X? The treatment is typically dosed daily for a period of 7–10 days. Before starting, it is recommended to perform a large water change and remove any dead or heavily infected coral fragments to reduce the pathogen load in the tank.

• Do I need to turn off my equipment? Unlike many treatments, you should keep your protein skimmer running, though you may need to adjust it if it begins to over-skim. You should remove activated carbon and turn off UV/Ozone for the duration of the treatment to prevent the active ingredients from being neutralized.

• Can STN-X fix a water chemistry problem? No. STN-X treats the symptom (the infection/necrosis), but you must still identify the cause. We strongly recommend a Triton ICP test alongside treatment to check for heavy metal toxicity or extreme nutrient imbalances.

• Is it effective against Rapid Tissue Necrosis (RTN)? While STN-X is primarily designed for the slower "peeling" of STN, it can be used as a supportive measure for RTN. However, RTN often moves so fast that fragging the healthy parts of the coral is usually the only way to save the specimen.

• Triton Zinc (Zn): Zinc deficiency is a scientifically linked cause of STN; if your ICP shows low zinc, this supplement is required to prevent a relapse.

• Triton DETOX: If your ICP test reveals heavy metals like Copper or lead as the cause of the necrosis, DETOX is necessary to remove the toxins.
