Question about Balling Light

[Randy Holmes-Farley Verified Community Expert]

On your web site you claim that your Balling Light product

". To further aid in restoring and maintaining chemical balance, we’ve developed and added an Organic Peptide Polymer to our Balling salts. This key ingredient helps remove excess elements from the water column."

https://www.faunamarin.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/FM_HTU_Balling_Light_System_EN.pdf

Can you clarify which "excess elements" you believe are being exported, and why you believe they are present in excess in aquariums that use your product?

Being an expert professional polymer chemist who works everyday with peptides, I do not need an explanation of what the material is and I'm not asking for the identity, just clarification of what this purported benefit is.

Thank you.

Sorry Randy can I tag another question on here whilst Fauna are formulating an answer to your question.

Dear Fauna Marin;

Is there A technical reason that your alkalinity calculator appears to be configured to carbonate. ie 10mls in 100 ltrs to increase DKH by 0.5? Pretty sure it's now been confirmed the Alkalinity part is bicarb, unless you have more than 1 type. If confirmed, does this not imply that folks are only adding a fraction of imagined alkalinity?
Cheers

They are no longer a Reef2Reef sponsor so probably will not respond. This thread was actually in their sponsor forum, but I guess got moved back here.

I just watched the reef bum with the bolis method isn't it based on the same ideas?

Yes it is the same. I have been "testing" it for about 3 weeks now and am seeing many of the things that Mer. Paletta says is happening in his tank. The problem, as I see it, is being able to attribute them to anything more than the change in lighting. IMO, like with so many new products or methodologies that rely on them, unless the manufacturer lists the specific ingredients it will be next to impossible to narrow down a specific result to a specific ingredient. It is possible that plain old 3 part along with a lighting change as described will produce the results I and Mr Paletta are seeing.

Oh… that is unfortunate that FM is “no longer R2R sponsor”.

That would appear to actually answer a lot of questions, at least for me.
