Bit of fun with a prize
 
Ok lets take the heat out of the balling debate, lets add a bit of fun

win a pack of TM balling ABC by the first person to answer this very simple question

1. TRUE OR FALSE
By doing a 10% water change you remove any imbalance in sodium chloride 2 part dosing produces?

2. Explain your answer?

First person with the right answers wins :)

If it's a debate, how can there be a right answer. :)

Aquattro 07-03-2014 08:31 PM

The answer is no. This is proven with natural science. PM for shipping info :)

But the question says ANY imbalance. There is a possibility it does solve some imbalances but not all.

1) false (if the question means any and all)

2) if I understand correctly, 2 part adds salt without the rest of the "stuff" in the salt bucket. Adding only 2 part will reduce the ratio of the "stuff" in your tank, creating an imbalance. Doing a 10% water change will only improve the imbalance 10%.

Yeah we have a winner!

PM me your address

2 part and 3 part add sodium chloride to the system (just as balling does) however when you do a water change you only remove that % of the imbalance created.

But if you just started 2 part and the imbalance in substance A went out a very tiny amount. Doing a 10% water change could add just enough to get substance A back into balance.

But you are guessing. the clue is in the question asked "could"

Your question is a good one though

So there you go. The answer is a definite maybe. While no and yes are obviously wrong.
