Balling Light Carbonate-Mix KH 1kg

Product information "Balling Light Carbonate-Mix KH 1kg"

BALLING LIGHT SALT CARBONATE-MIX

Balling Light Carbonate-Mix from Fauna Marin is a pure special salt for carbonate supply with the Balling Light method in marine aquariums. 

Our salts correspond to pharmaceutical purity levels and are packed accordingly protected. We do not only pay attention to the data sheet, but also control organic and inorganic trace elements as well as the effectiveness of the salts.

With Fauna Marin Balling-Light salts you get the purest special salts available for marine aquaristics. We use additional bioactive stabilizers, pH buffers and special minerals in our salts, which significantly increase the stability of chemical parameters in aquariums. The added trace elements remain more stable in solution and are therefore more available to the corals.

By using our salt mixtures you add specific minerals and trace elements which are missing or limited in commercial sea salts. The addition of bioactive components and the purity of our salts prevent darkening of the corals and increase their growth and color formation.

  • more effective due to high purity salts with lowest water content
  • salt mixtures for better stability of important parameters
  • adjusted to modern sea salts
  • stable pH-value
  • supply of bioactive substances for better color development and growth of corals and biology


The Fauna Marin Balling Light System is a complete, self-contained system that can be used in conjunction with all standard filter systems. It doesn't matter if you use a zeolite system, the usual Berliner system or a natural filter system e.g. via mud filtration. With the Balling Light method you add exactly the substances that are missing from the aquarium.

Dosage:

  • approx. 10 ml per 100 liters = + 0.5 dKH
  • we recommend a carbonate hardness of 6,5- 8
  • start with the addition of magnesium, then calcium and carbonate, there should be approx. 10 min between the dosages
  • please note the HTU to the Balling Light System at https://www.faunamarin.de/support-downloads/


Dosing instructions:

  • Carbonate-Mix comes only in canister 3
  • for the Balling Light method for the basic supply of your saltwater aquarium 3 canisters are used
  • dissolve 500 g Balling Light Carbonate-MIX in 3 liters of osmosis water
  • then add TRACE supplements
  • 25 ml Balling Light TRACE 3, then fill up to 5 liters with osmosis water.

The exact dosing quantities cannot be given in a general way, because each aquarium is individual. Please calculate your exact consumption with the AquaCalculator: www.aquacalculator.com and then add the quantities calculated there exactly suitable for your aquarium.

AquaHomeTest KH
Typ: KH
About carbonate hardness / alkalinity:The carbonate hardness (KH) or alkalinity* of a water sample characterises the buffering capacity, i.e. the ability to maintain the pH value of the water. It is primarily defined by the proportion of hydrogen carbonate ions in the water. As the pH value increases, other basic ions such as the hydroxide ions also contribute to the alkalinity. The alkalinity should be tested in all aquariums regularly. If the alkalinity in the aquarium is too low, the pH value can sink (sudden drop in acidity) to a level which is life-threatening for many fish and invertebrates. In reef aquariums, an adequate alkalinity is essential for strong coral growth. On the other hand, an overly high alkalinity in saltwater tanks can lead to lime precipitates and also have a negative impact on coral growth. *There are many terms in water chemistry to describe the buffering capacity with varying definitions. The term “carbonate hardness” is customary in reef- and fishkeeping; however, it is the alkalinity which is measured. In this test, both terms are used synonymously. The reading for alkalinity is usually given in degrees of German hardness (°dKH). You can find a table for converting this unit into other common units (such as the equivalence unit millival per litre (mval/l) or the volume of substance in mmol/l) on the second cover page. Natural seawater has an alkalinity of 6.5 °dKH. The alkalinity in saltwater aquariums should range from 6 to 9 °dKH. Ask your specialist retailer for the correct alkalinity for your tank. How to correct unfavourable values:To increase the alkalinity when levels are too low, we recommend using Fauna Marin Carbonate MIX or Fauna Marin Easy dKH.
