Balling method calculation

HI Michael

You forget one very important thing

With Calciumreactors you can add ( depending of the Material which you use ) a lot of Po4 and H2Co3 in your system.
The Ph Level will going down and this brings Po4 back in solution.
Blling light will work as an PH Puffer and will stabilize the PH against and Calcium reactor
this will bring more stabilitiy in your tank
If you add the Trace Elements which are developed for grow and coloration
you will add the Trace element in the right ammount how the corals grow and not more or to much.
Here you can see some tanks which use the Balling light system several years

Yes i forgot about the stability of pH using balling great point. Balling of course keeps pH very stable and of course you are not running the risk of PO4 deposits

Fantastic photos absolutely stunning

I would like to see that link as well. This is something I am very interested in since I do not want to use a Calcium Reactor. Look forward to the new link!

Thanks.

Im sure I could get this info from reading a bit more but I will ask anyways....

Do I need to use the ProfiLux conroller to use the GHL 3 pump stand alone dosing station?

The reason I ask, is because I do not want to have to change my controller right now. Although if I could go back I would have bought a Profilux instead of Neptune

The ones I have seen people using are awesome!

I am still just trying to get my head around the Balling method but I really like the concept.

EDIT: Ok, read some more

Certainly something I want to do and it looks like the dosing pump has a built in controller?

I LOVE how easy this makes things...I can see why this method is so popular in Europe. I was about to buy a Ca reactor and I am now very glad I did not.
