Balling and why

Great write up on what makes Hans Werner balling by Tropic Marin important

The Balling system was developed by Hans-Werner Balling, a German Marine biologist, and was first published in 1994. Hans-Werner developed a system that would replenish a marine system with every element found in natural salt water without adding excess sodium chloride (salt) to the system.

Then along came the “light systems” or 2-3 part systems. These “light systems” add extra sodium chloride to the tank thus resulting in ionic imbalance. They also neglect adding other trace elements found in natural sea water other than calcium, alkalinity and, sometimes, Mg.

The Tropic Marin Original Balling Salts are the only Balling Salts made under the direct supervision of Hans-Werner Balling and the ONLY system that replenishes all you need in terms of minerals and trace elements that are depleted between water changes. Furthermore, by adding Tropic Marin Pro-Coral A elements and Pro-Coral K elements, you can also provide additional elements corals require for continuing biological processes. Hans-Werner Balling’s genuine Balling system is a complete mineral replenishment solution for a reef tank.

The Balling system comes in 3 mixes, part A, B and C. It is part C that differentiates it from the “light” systems. Part C is not just magnesium, it is complete sodium chloride-free (NaCl-free) sea salt with all the trace elements with a balanced level of magnesium as well.

Tell your clients to use Tropic Marin Bio-Calcium Original Balling for their tank’s sake. As the name suggests, it was developed by Hans-Werner Balling, the inventor of the Balling Method, and manufactured under his direct supervision at Tropic Marin’s facility.
