Component C for dosing calcium and carbonate hardness using the Balling method
The Balling method works by adding sodium hydrogen carbonate and calcium chloride, resulting in soluble calcium hydrogen carbonate. To compensate for the excess sodium chloride formed in the process, sodium chloride-free sea salt is used at the same time.
Application
- 147 g Sealutions Calcium chloride dihydrate
- 168 g Sealutions Sodium hydrogen carbonate
- 50 g Sealutions Mineral salt
dissolve completely in 2 litres of water. Maintain the carbonate hardness in the range of 9 - 11° dH by adding equal amounts of the three solutions daily. For a 300 litre reef tank, experience has shown that you initially need just under 100 ml of each solution per day. Depending on the need, the daily dose must be increased or reduced slightly in the following period in order to remain within the desired target KH range.
The calcium requirement and therefore the consumption of the three solutions is based on not evaporation, but on the biologically active stocking of the aquarium.
Dosage for other applications
31.25 ml of a saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate solution increases the carbonate hardness in 100 litres of water by 1 °dH.
A saturated solution must always be above a sediment of solid sodium hydrogen carbonate. This requires approx. 96 g/l NaHCO3.
