BRS Hybrid Balling Method?

There is no reason to dose the magnesium portion daily although you can if you want

If you dose magnesium separate and apart from TM part C you will either
1. Over dose magnesium
2. Not properly apply the chloride free dosing and therefore your chloride will rise

Again, the original Balling method shows that you dose A B and C. There is no additional Magnesium dosing because part C covers it.

I can see how it's confusing. This BRS article includes mg separately albeit in smaller dose. I'm dosing mg at about 15% of what i dose ca and my mglevels. is relatively flat. I dose part c at its recommended ratio of 2:1 and not based on mg level.


Note: Because the Tropic Marin Part C solution also contains magnesium, your BRS Magnesium dose will be a much smaller volume vs if you weren't using Tropic Marin Part C. If you are adding Tropic Marin Part C to your current BRS 2 Part dosing regimine, you'll want to monitor magnesium closely in the first few weeks to fine tune your dose.

I get it. BRS needs to sell product lol. Like Ive mentioned, why would you need a 4th dosing container and dosing pump for a separate Magnesium supplement when the original balling method is just parts A B and C. It’s unnecessary redundancy in my book. Just my humble opinion. I don’t like spending money if I don’t need to….

You’d only be dosing magnesium according to your consumption which is what it states in the instructions. If your consumption is low, you won’t dose much, if any.

I subscribe to the RMM. I don’t test for magnesium. These days I just run All for Reef and let AFR plus water changes handle magnesium. No need to test it IMO
