Yes any 3 pump doser will allow you to dose calcium, alkalinity and magnesium parts of the balling method daily. The Fauna Marin doser is almost identical to GHL dosers.

Yes it is quite similar to dosing bulk products other than at the same time you are dosing trace elements. Faunas trace B set is incorporated into your dosing solutions, so while you are dosing the calcium, alkalinity and magnesium portions you are replenishing trace elements at the same time.

The balling system will not allow you to reduce the rate at which you do water changes because it does not have an effect on how quickly your NO3 and NO4 will build up. One of the best ways to export nutrient build up in your aquarium will always be good old water changes.
