The most important elements for any reef tank is Alkalinity, Calcium and Magnesium, and the Balling Light Set is the solution to that. As corals grow, they use these elements and as a result, deplete the availability within the water column.
Balling Light Salts by Fauna Marin gives you a clean and pure specialty salt that was specifically made for marine aquariums. It uses pH buffers, bio-active stabilizers, and minerals that will increase the aquariums parameters stability noticeably. Along with the macro elements, you are also adding trace elements that will be consumed by the corals easily, and does not affect the stability of the solution.

Calculating dosage amount
When starting with your first dose, it is recommend starting with a baseline dose of 1ml per 3-4 gallons. You can also calculate the recommended dosage for your tank by using the Aqua Calculator. This handy tool can be downloaded at www.aquacalculator.com. It will provide you with a dosage calculation based on your current tank volume and current tank parameters.
Aqua Calculator is the only online tool which provides accurate dosage recommendations based on the original Balling-Light recipe. Other calculators provide dosage recommendations based on the classic recipe which is different and therefore incorrect for this system.
Recommended dosing schedule
The more often you dose, the more stable your parameters can become. For that reason we recommend you calculate your daily dose and split it into multiple doses throughout the day. For automated dosing, we recommend the GHL Doser 2.1 which is an ideal dosing unit for this method.
