Dear Fellow Reefer
Many thanks for your thoughtful and detailed feedback.
Like you I have tried CR and am moving to ball method. Over the last week I've been gradually getting the equipment and additives necessary. Am using Grotech Tec III for dosing with Grotech Instant Calcium, Instant Carbonate and Instant Magnesium - so yes balling lite seems to be easier because I have not been able to find NaCi free salts. In addition, I'm adding Corall A, B, C and Vitoamino, to solutions I, II & III.
I'll try and report the progress as it goes along.
Cheers
Mohan
