What is balling?
I could get in real trouble answering this with old timie definitions. :wink:
In our reef tanks from what I understand it is a method of dosing reef tank somewhat similar to Dr Randy Holmes-Farley's diy 2 part method. Only they use salt free marine salt mixes. That seems to be an oxymoron but is basically all the added stuff without the sodium chloride itself. calcium, carbonate, and mag being the big three. On "enhanced" method added small parts of a bunch of stuff I personally found interesting like nitrate additions.
But don't take my word and google it yourself. I just used the three part method in a tank balanced with macro algae and no water changes.

For those that can understand German Herr Balling just did a series of videos with Meerwasser TV.
Great stuff learned a lot about using the balling method from Herr Balling himself.

Thanks. I feel so inadequate right now for not knowing German. I follow Herr Balling's writings on a German forum but only after clicking the "the translate button". For those who wish to know more about the Balling classic method, here is a link that I sent to a fellow reefer earlier today via pm. Because there is no commercial product promotion, I am hoping that this link will not break the forum rules:

I use to sit and translate my hand Alf Jacob Nilsen The Modern Coral Reef Aquarium so I could learn the latest info. Now we can use google translate to get a faster turn around.:)

I have been using the balling light method for around 5 months.
I really like it my corals are healthy and colour is good.
