I appreciate the post, thanks

Think about adding just Part C to your system then thats all you have to do. There is nothing different in TM A and B which is sodium and calcium other than being lab grade pure and certified. People opt to use the whole TM system as they feel more secure knowing it is proven and tested pure. But if thats not a concern then go with TM part C only and add the third stage to your system.

If one was to only use part c, how would you measure or test for dose amounts?

I beg to differ! As far as I know (if what's written on the package is true), part B is Sodium Bicarbonate.

Sorry couldn't help myself I will just slowly move away now

So to summerize before this all falls apart.

Hans werner balling developed a system that keeps your system in check by adding in balance all the required minerals to your system.

Just as with 2 part and 3 part Han's system also raises salinity but unlike 2-3 part it is raising it in balance meaning the remaining sodium chloride left behind that the corals do not consume is balanced with the part C + trace elements.

The left over sodium chloride in the balling system plus part C with the trace elements = natural sea water

The left over sodium chloride in 2-3 part does not, of if you wish to believe it comes with some trace elements, then more scary its adding things you have no clue of what or what amount.

Just want too clarify another point also when I talk about NACL I am talking about NACL FREE salt.

Of course NACL is salt

Part C is NACL "FREE"

You got me going back checking my typos now before the RC crew go picking up on them!

Part C is everything you find in reef salt minus the salt, NACL FREE PART C are your balancing elements that is added to your system which binds to the free swimming sodium chloride making balanced "reef salt" in effect

hope it wasnt out of place but i was just interested to see what the argument is from the other side of things , as hobbyist we all have what we think works and i know that TM is a trusted name in the game but as someone who uses randys recipe i wanted to see his thoughts on this thread were.

i would like to see claude, hans and randy having a coffee one day and be sitting at the table behind spying in lol
