How to start balling and what to choose

[JerryThomas]

Hello to everyone, i want to start the balling method in my 45 cm (25 g) cube.
My doubt is on which dosing pumps to buy and what method to use ... I'm mostly undecided between these two pumps:

jebao dp4;
Doser one evolution aqua-trend

as methods i'm undecided between:

fauna marine balling light set;
Aquaforest 1 + 2 + 3 +;
Triton reef supplement core7

Can you help me please?

I started with AF and then moved to FM balling light and I'm happy.
For doser I use a Kore 5th and I'm very happy, because it's very reliable and has 5 pumps that I use for dosing other products.

Kore 5th is too expensive..

I hhave two tanks. Running FM 1 ,2,3.
One tank has jebao dp3 on has Dp2.
As magnesium deplete slowest by ratio you can dose it manually.
Or
You can combine by weight 3 (mag) into 2(calcium) when you mix the dry with rodi. and run two stage Doser. I belive there's instructions for that elsewhere.
The dp3 and dp4 were $9 difference on eBay at the time. My 30 gal is limited on space so I chose the DP2 for that.

Why not use the "Balling method" by the guy who actually invented it? Dr. Hans Werner Balling and Tropic Marin Balling salts are the real deal!

I have used Tropic Marin Balling since it was introduced. It is balanced formula and easy to use. I use GHL dosing pumps because they have stepper motors This allows me to dose very small amounts down to .01 ml.

I'm almost sure to buy the Coral box wf04 is wifi dosing pump instead of jebao dp4, and start aquaforest component 123+ balling...What do you think? And also buy Af salt (Sea, reef, or probiotic?)

I really like AF comp123. Its super easy and Ive had good resultss. It can be used independently of other AF prodcuts.
