    Why shouldn't you mix Calcium to TM Part C?

    @Randy Holmes-Farley, what's the reason for not mixing Tropic Marin Part C with the Calcium solution? Stability? This came to my mind as a webpage from Triton implies adding NaCl-free sea salt to the Calcium solution is actually doable, but will make the solution less stable in the long term...

    should I stop maintaining my parameters with TM all for reef?

    Situation: I have a waterbox 90.3 that I upgraded into from a system that was 2 years old and started 1 month ago today. while I knew that I would come into some chemistry issues, this one kind of stumped me to the point of needing some help and or a plan of action. i set the tank completely...

    How to lower Calc & Mag when using TM Original Balling Method?

    I’ve been dosing the 3 part solution for a little over 6 months now. In my last ICP test, both Calc (522ppm) and Mag (1446ppm) levels were quite high with my Alk steady at 8.5. How can I get my Calc and Mag levels back lower when I’m dosing equal parts of the 3 solutions (52ml/day)? I also use...

    Non DIY Sodium Carbonate 2-Part Product in the UK?

    Hi folks, I am looking to implement 2-part/balling method using sodium carbonate, however most products I see being sold here in the UK use sodium bicarbonate. I would like to run my pH a little higher, hence my interest in using soda ash. BRS soda ash is not available here, and although I am...

    Balling Part C

    TL;DR: Can I mix up Balling Part C such that it has a 1350 Mg and 400 K when diluting for salinity increases and only use when I dilute the tank (rather than dose it daily)? I have a 20g nano mixed reef that is about a year old. The frags are becoming small colonies now, along with coralline...

    Aqua Forest Probiotic reef salt batch differences.

    Hi all, I realise all batches of AF salt are all slightly different and I wandering how others manage this in conjunction with dosing equal amounts of Components 1,2,3? Take the following as an example ... I am in the process of balancing my ions, dosing equal of the 3 comps, with a little...

    3-Part or 4-Part Recommendations

    Hey Guys- I am rebuilding my Red Sea Reefer 450 to be an SPS dominant ZeoVit system. I have used Triton Core7, Aquaforest 3-part and BRS 2-part in the past on other systems and the previous build of this system, in which I attempted the Triton Method. I am trying to determine what my best bet...

    Dosing help please

    So I've bought my first doser and am eager to get it going. Have got sodium carbonate for kh, Calcium Chloride and Magnesium Chloride. Have tried using various online calculators and think I know the maths to make the solutions. Reading around I think it's best to make the kh solution weak...

    My Triton Testing Results

    There are many different ions in seawater, and as reef aquarists we generally only test for a small number of these. Calcium, magnesium, “alkalinity”, nitrate, phosphate, and ammonia, for example, are relatively easy for hobbyists to test at home using kits. Other ions, however, are more...

    The Many Methods for Supplementing Calcium and Alkalinity

    There is no aspect of reef aquarium chemistry more important than calcium and alkalinity. Many of my previous articles have described various aspects of these systems in detail. In reading those articles, aquarists will note one pervasive theme: that maintaining appropriate levels of each are...
