Whether you’re fine-tuning a mature reef system or building a stable environment for growing coral frags, Tropic Marin® Original Balling Components deliver accuracy, flexibility, and stability—everything a serious reef aquarist needs to support long-term coral health.

Tropic Marin® Original Balling Components offer a highly customizable solution for reef aquarists who want precise control over calcium and alkalinity levels. Designed for use with the proven Balling method, this 3-part system enables independent dosing of calcium, carbonates, and essential trace elements—allowing for accurate adjustments tailored to the unique demands of your aquarium.


Each component plays a critical role in maintaining ionic stability:

 

  • Part A – Calcium Chloride Dihydrate: Supplies bioavailable calcium to support skeletal development and overall coral health.

  • Part B – Sodium Carbonate/Bicarbonate: Provides carbonate and bicarbonate ions that buffer pH and support alkalinity, essential for stable reef conditions.

  • Part C – Sodium Chloride-Free Sea Salt: Replenishes magnesium, potassium, and other trace elements removed during calcium and alkalinity dosing, maintaining natural seawater chemistry and preventing long-term imbalances.
