Anyone Interested In Fauna Marin Balling Lite Group Buy??
On a recent trip to NSW for a fish crawl, we stumbled across an excellent store that imports the incredibly popular Fauna Marin Balling Lite range from Germany. For those who don't know, this is top shelf Calcium/Alkalinity/Magnesium and trace elements for your tank. Used in a heap of amazing tanks in Europe.
Here is the manual for your reference:

OK - so basically, I got chatting with Eric from Reef River and Reptile (top bloke) and he said he could look after reefuge members on a bulk buy. We've worked out a rough plan to see if there is any interest, once interest has been gauged - we can fine tune that plan further.
Basically, everyone would get:
2kg of Calcium + 25ml trace #1, 25ml trace #2
2kg Magnesium
500g Carbonate + 25ml trace #3
This makes each person 4 litres of cal/alk/mag with included trace elements, everything you need basically.
Now, there is a couple of ways we can do this. I am happy to host a day at my place where we all get together, bring your containers and we mix it up on the spot. Or, if preferred, I can give/send out your raw chemicals for you to mix up yourself.
At this stage - we are looking at about $45 per person to make this happen (with 10-12 people), a very good price for absolute top shelf dosing chemicals that are proven world wide.
@Wrangy has been testing out these supps for a few weeks now and will post a review soon, but there are plenty of reviews world wide that give this stuff a brilliant review.
Another great advantage of this product is the amazing FREE calculator they have developed for it too. You simply put in your tank details, your current parameters and it gives you the dosing amounts of their products to reach the desired parameters. Reefbuilders did a post on this recently:
