I'm using all three Balling light components and mixing as per advice given. Can I have some clarity on dosing amounts as I see two part users are advised to dose equal amounts of both parts per day.

I currently dose 230ml of alkalinity per day, 46ml of calcium per day and 3 ml of magnesium per day as this is what my system demands at present and parameters are stable at 420 cal, 1295 mag and 7.1 dKh. Does this sound ok? as I have been reading on ion imbalances in the system etc, so I really would like some clarity.

I'm running the Zeovit system.

Thanks!

Our products are not dependent on one another like some of the other brands on the market. While values are reliant on one another for the tank to be stable and provide the best environment for our animals, the Fauna Marin products are best dosed at individual consumption rates.

I'd recommend getting an SRL analysis if you are concerned about Ion imbalances and work with one of the specialists from the lab should something be askew. To me, it sounds like you are doing well and your tank is flourishing. Let me know if there are issues present that are making you concerned. Your parameters look great, but how does your tank look to you?

Tank seems to be running smoothly if I'm honest, I just like to err on the side of caution and check to see all is well on the chemistry side of the hobby.

Stunning tank!

Look into the SRL tests we offer, if you decide to . The business test is recommended to start with as it gives you the most in depth look at your tank. The economy test is recommended as a quarterly or bi-annual test when fixing any issues to make sure you do not over correct an issue or cause others with addition to stock, changes in salt mixture or environment. The Economy test looks at normal water conditions and anything that was red flagged from a Business test. They help give consumers ease of mind when looking into the Ions and smaller not as easier particles that can make a difference in our tanks. You will have a representative walk you through any questions you have in regards to the results, and through the process of correction.

I will definitely look into that, many thanks!
