 Add yours! |  "Balling Method" for supplementing
Thanks to HMA "Heinz" for helping explain this method to me  The "Balling method" is named after Hans-Werner Balling. It is a way to supplement your reef with calcium, sodium carbonate, magnesium, trace elements, and amino acids. There seems to be different versions of this method ranging from Balling Full, Balling Light, Balling Complete, to Balling Complete plus. Most of the information is in German but a few sites are translated into English... Heinz's Balling method: http://riffaquarium.hm-photogalerie.de/lang_eng/info_3_eng.html Fauna Marin - Claude Schumacher's Balling Light: http://www.faunamarin.de/eng/manual_balling-methode.php Ralph Prehn's Balling method: http://cashh.de/?page_id=56 I believe I will eventually do away with my kalkwasser and begin using Heinz's Balling Complete Plus method .
