Finally!! The Genuine Balling Method endorsed and developed by Hans-Werner Balling himself from Tropic Marin.



Tropic Marin for quite a while has had Hans-Werner Balling working in their laboratories, the actual man that developed and wrote the article on the balling system, this is the real thing!

Aqua Digital inc are very proud to bring to Canada the “Genuine” true Balling method, fully endorsed by Hans-Werner Balling!

So briefly what’s different than what you know now?

Hans-Werner Balling developed a system which he wrote an article on quite a few years back that dosed in 3 parts, (this is the only real similarity from what you are marketed at present) the 3 parts come in a set called Bio Calcium liquid. Bio calcium forms Parts A B C of the method, these come in pre mixed bottles or as 3 different salts that you mix with RO

Still sounds familiar?

The biggest difference is in part C

Part A is your Calcium Chloride
Part B is your ALK in the form of Sodium Bicarbonate
PART C Part C is what differentiates what is wrongly marketed today as Balling and what Hans-Werner Balling developed and ONLY works with Tropic marin to produce.

Part C is everything you will find in natural sea water all the elements INCLUDING Magnesium, BUT without any sodium Chloride. So your system is constantly replenished with all the elements in sea water that are depleted by living organisms or precipitates out. there are absolute no Ionic balance issues.

So we are very proud to bring to Canada THE REAL BALLING method developed by the man himself Hans-Werner Balling from Tropic Marin.

Please look out for further news on this asap

Very interesting. Following this!

We should have stock within 2 weeks

Tropic Marin will be doing their own marketing also in the coming months which we will link to.

Its important the right and most accurate info is now out there in regards to what balling genuinely is.

Very interesting!

So, with the "true" Balling method, is it correct that you have to pull out SW and replace with FW because otherwise the SG will have a tendency to creep up. Is that correct? This is where having 4 dosing pumps is advantageous because the 4th is used for pulling out SW (which then gets replaced by auto-topup)?

[Delphinus]

Ah, well, good to hear. I thought I had read in early articles in the past that the free chloride ion from part A (Calcium chloride) binds with the free sodium ion from part b (Sodium bicarbonate), thus driving up the S.G. secondarily. But I would think that could apply to any 2-part dosing regime so maybe the tanks that were doing this were using a part C with additional NaCl.

The system that Hans-Werner Balling is developed to be balanced, this is what makes it different.

can you keep us posted as to what online or local retailers order this please.

edited for more accuracy

The specific gravity WILL increase over time (very slowly over a very long period of time) when using the Balled Method. This is not really noticeable and is of little consequence because the change happens so slowly that regular water changes "rests" the tank to the proper salinity. This is a VERY SLOW increase and is never an issue. The advantage of the Balling Method is in part due to the fact that the solution is always balanced ionically which is not true of the "Balling Light 2 part". There is no need for a fourth dosing pump, as this change is so slow, it would even be very difficult to regulate with a dosing pump.

Give me about 3 weeks max then it will be wide spread, we have such a massive (genuine) dealer base that pretty much anything we supply is locally available now.
