What, Exactly, Is Balling?
The Balling Method was pioneered by Hans-Werner Balling, a German
aquarist. Balling's idea was that Calcium, Magnesium and Carbonate
(Alkalinity) were the main things that were used up in closed systems.
He thought that by replacing those things at the rate of their
consumption, the water parameters of a closed system could be made more
stable than they had ever been before.
Through the elimination of the sudden parameter changes we all impose
on our tanks when changing water, and by maintaining critical elements
at their optimum levels, your corals are allowed to grow and flourish -
never lacking anything they require.
Why Balling?
The single biggest benefit of the Balling Method over any other
supplementation method is that there are no pH issues as with
Kalkwasser and calcium reactors. No matter how much Ca, Mg and Alk your
system consumes, the Balling Method can supply it without any risk of a
pH spike or crash.
In Germany, the Balling Method has almost replaced calcium reactors.
Balling does not require the use of pressurized CO2, uses only low
power dosing pumps (though you can Ball without any pumps), and the
solutions are easy to mix using economical materials.
The Fauna Marin Approach to Balling.
The problem with Balling is that a lot of people try to make it more
difficult than it is. Any internet search of 'balling method' will
yield many varied results, each of which put itself forward as the best
way. What Fauna Marin has done is create a collection of Balling Salts
and Trace Minerals that take the worry and guesswork out of Balling -
so you can get it right, and do it with confidence.
Fauna Marin Balling salts are pharmaceutical-grade and packaged to
maintain their purity. To the base salts, they add bio-active salt
stabilizers, pH buffers and trace minerals - all of which increase the
stability of your water parameters. The added trace elements remain
stable in solution, making them more available to your corals.
The bio-active components have the added benefits of helping to prevent
your corals from browning while helping them grow and maintain optimum
color.
