Tropic Marin® Original Balling Set – Parts A, B & C
The Tropic Marin Original Balling Set is designed to maintain the essential water parameters of marine reef aquariums. This complete set includes 1 kg of each component:
-
Part A – Calcium
-
Part B – Alkalinity (carbonates)
-
Part C – Sodium chloride–free sea salt
Working together, these components ensure a stable calcium and alkalinity balance while maintaining proper ionic equilibrium and supplying all essential trace elements. Ideal for reef aquariums, this system supports healthy coral growth and overall marine vitality. 🌱🐟
Key Features & Benefits
✅ Independent dosing of calcium and alkalinity
✅ Maintains long-term ionic balance
✅ Contains all 70 trace elements found in natural seawater
✅ Promotes strong coral and coralline algae growth
✅ No phosphates, no artificial by-products, no pollutants
✅ Pharmaceutical-grade purity for crystal-clear solutions
✅ Can be dosed manually or with dosing pumps
How It Works
The Balling method uses three separate solutions:
-
Part A: Calcium chloride dihydrate
-
Part B: Sodium carbonate / bicarbonate
-
Part C: Sodium chloride–free marine salt
Unlike two-part systems, the three-part Balling method prevents trace element depletion and keeps seawater chemistry balanced over time ⚖️🌊
Dosage
💧 30 ml of each solution increases calcium by 15 ppm and alkalinity by 2.2 dKH in 35 L (10 US gallons)
🚫 Maximum daily dose: 60 ml of each solution per 35 L
Solutions are highly stable and can be stored indefinitely.
