Thank you very much.
Well, I think that Randy, with "Randy's 2-part method" was even earlier than Hans Werner Balling and his method differs only partially.
Personally I think that all these methods are really not new.
15years ago I used baking-soda to raise the Carbon-hardness.
This and also a lot of the $$ commercial KH+ products are nothing, than the NaHCO3 that is used with Balling.
New with Balling is IMHO the planned, Ion-balanced way of regular addition.
Together with the Traceelement addition. But well, most people I personally know don't use the Traceelement part of Balling and adds them as usual.
