Balling Light Carbonate Salt for Reef Tank Alkalinity Dosing
Fauna Marin Balling Salt Carbonate Mix is a dry carbonate salt made for the Balling Light method of reef dosing. Corals use up alkalinity as they build their skeletons, and this mix puts it back.
Fauna Marin makes its Balling Light salts to be high purity with the lowest water content. They also contain bioactive stabilizers, pH buffers, and unique minerals that help keep water chemistry steady. The added trace elements stay stable in solution, so corals can use them more easily. The mix supports coral growth and color without darkening the corals.
Key Features:
- High-purity salt with the lowest water content for more effective dosing
- Bioactive stabilizers, pH buffers, and unique minerals that improve the stability of key parameters
- Trace elements that stay stable in solution and stay available to corals
- Matched to modern sea salts
- Helps hold a stable pH
- Bioactive substances that support color development and coral growth
- Works with Fauna Marin Calcium and Magnesium mixes in the Balling Light system
- Sold in 1KG, 2KG, and 4KG sizes
Ideal For:
- Reef aquariums that already run, or plan to run, the Balling Light method
- Reef keepers whose corals use alkalinity fast and who want to dose by measured tank consumption
- Hobbyists building a full Fauna Marin Balling Light routine with the calcium, magnesium, and trace element products
Pro Tips:
- Calculate your dose. Do not guess. Every tank uses alkalinity at a different rate. Fauna Marin does not give one fixed dose. Use the AquaCalculator to work out the amount for your tank, then dose exactly that amount.
- Test alkalinity before you change anything. Fauna Marin recommends 6.5 to 8 dKH. Test first, dose by your calculated amount, then test again to confirm your tank is holding steady.
- Dose in order. Fauna Marin's Balling Light directions say to add magnesium first, then calcium, then carbonate, with about 10 minutes between each. This keeps the salts from reacting with each other at full strength in the water.

While most of our equipment carries a one-year manufacturer's warranty, consumable products like fish and coral foods are not covered under traditional warranty terms due to their perishable nature and varied storage conditions.

Instructions*:
- Test your current alkalinity level. Fauna Marin recommends 6.5 to 8 dKH.
- Use the AquaCalculator to work out the right amount for your aquarium. Exact dose amounts cannot be given because every tank is different.
- Dose the calculated amount exactly.
- If you also dose magnesium and calcium, add magnesium first, then calcium, then carbonate. Wait about 10 minutes between each.
- Retest alkalinity and adjust your calculated dose as needed.
Safety: Causes serious eye irritation. If in eyes, rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Keep away from children. Not for human consumption.
