Fauna Marin balling lite

[flipit13]

Is anyone using this method?
i have been reading as much as i can, and am looking into the pro's and con's

the reason i am looking into this method is for a substitute to using a cal reactor for the propagation troughs, home system and frag tank. it looks pretty simple but i could be wrong lol it has happen lol

thanks in advance
rick

Mshur using it you can pm him to find out the pros and cons . I heard good thing about it but kind of expensive for the balling light like $100 for all salts and additives not including the mag additive thats and extra $33 and thats only for making a 1 gallon solution each salt mix.

i know Mike is using it i have already picked his brain lol. i was just seeing if anyone else was and to post the pros and cons.

i dont have a problem with mag YET lol, but cal and alk are always fluctuating so just trying to minimize the fluctuations a bit.

i have looked into the price and have weighed it out. i just like that it also adds other trace elements with out having to remember if i did it already lol.

Heard great things about their products. But in reading their RC forum, it seems like US distributors always has issues getting their products cleared by customs. There's posts by people waiting up to 2 months for their salts. If you know of a reliable source, please do share

Cool. In speaking to Claude at MACNA, he indicated he was going to try to expand his distribution in the US. Hope that happens, I was going to order from Progressive Reefs in Canada, but put it off until I finish up my 2 part. If you have a local source and don't mind sharing, my PM box and I are all ears

Thanks. I believe www.faunamarindirect.com is Canadian and possibly Progressive Reef as well.

I'll check with CC... still out of stock on a few elements.

You can it from Reef Wholesale, which is the NA distributor in Canada or as posted Cheery Corals which is in Wayne, Michigan. Claude is really good friends with Cherry Corals, as they have been hosting him the last two MACNA's. Fauna Marine Direct is part of Aqua Digital.
