Balling and ionic disbalance

[Pod_01]

What deficiency did you have except Potassium and Sulphur?
And now, using Classic version, do you dose the same or different quantities of each solution?

Here is a typical report from ICP and what needed to be added when using FM Balling Light:

Unfortunately now I have extensive collection of bottles and my wife thinks I am into some illegal activities :zany-face: .

So for last 5 months I been using TM Original Balling method and using Tropic Marin A and K trace elements that Randy suggested.

I dose the TM A and K at minimum suggest dose 1ml per 100L (going by memory).

I have not done ICP in last 5 months but planning to do one sometime soon. Corals are doing ok so I have no reason to be concerned.

Good luck,

Do you use TM Part A, B, C - all of the three? What quantities of each solution?

To have ionic balance they need to be dosed in equal quantities. I dose based on my Alk consumption and am dosing approximately 90ml a day of each component.

Yea I use all three parts.

When did you use Fauna Marin do you add Trace 1 Trace 2 Trace 3 by Fauna Marin?

Used them from 2022- 2024 and yup used all 3 traces and made adjustments based on the ICP and still got long list of corrections.

Based on my notes I used:
Trace 3: 60ml / 5L
Trace 2: 30ml / 5L
Trace 1: 30ml / 5L

Thank you a lot!

Tropic Marin Original Balling method A, B and C components.

I also used TM AFR and didn’t have these issues.

"Exactly, AFR from Tropic Marin is so nice and simple
