What the Heck are we balling about??

Thought I'd post a picture of my dosing setup. Note the hi-tech bottle on the right for Mg.

Ocean Aquatics isn't carrying the trace elements for the Balling Method yet. Next time I'm on the island I'll check out Progressive Reef.

This is truly the superior method to a CA reactor.

Some day I'll switch from my CA Reactor but for now I'm still fighting with CO2

Wendell,

Let me know if you want some samples for your store.

And I just boguth a CAl Reactor

oh well may have to run this for a 12 month period and then go to a dosing method.

so how much does every one mix i take it the more they grow the more powerful the fluid or am I out to lunch on this.

i really like the way the dosing works Steve when you were talking to me about it it seems different.

Hi

The fluid strength stays the same, as things grow it is the amount dosed that will change, we are not talkign litres a day here only ML's so you can see 5 gallons x 3 will last a heck of a time.

no No Steve that came out wrong the dosing is so easy SO why aren't people doing the Dosing

I think its a miss conception of cost

Up until now dosers were expensive and not very expandable and controllable

Then came the GHL SA doser that can be expanded up to 8 pumps at an attractive price and now people can see the concept of balling is as cheap if not cheaper than running a ca reactor.

Change scars people

Actually it's pretty new to NA, most don't know about it or quite understand the concept. In a few years this kind of system will be more widely used around here.
