Component Concentrate 3x1L – kit for the Balling method

This Aquaforest kit is intended for reef keepers who prepare their own Balling solutions and want to store less volume and mix less often. It supplies the three Component solutions in concentrated form, so the aquarist works from a smaller, lighter stock while still obtaining the full set of macro and micro elements.

Why it matters

• Each litre of concentrate produces 5 litres of finished Component 1+, 2+ and 3+ solution, which reduces the number of containers that need storing.
• The concentrate is 5 times stronger than standard Component 1+2+3+, so the amount needed per dose is much smaller.
• The concentrate dissolves in osmotic (RO) water, so preparation requires only water and the bottles.
• The formula contains a balance of macro and micro elements, which the manufacturer links to coral growth and colouration.

What it works with

The set is designed for reef aquariums with corals in which the Balling method is used for supplementation. Because the concentrate is 5 times stronger than the standard product, dosing should be gradual, with regular testing of KH, Ca and Mg, to avoid sudden parameter swings. The recommended dose refers to medium-stocked tanks, so heavily stocked systems may require adjustment based on test results.
