Yes, like i mentioned above. Balling method is just 2 part (2 solution) plus additional solution that contains Mg & NaCL free salt, so become 3 solution.

yummy AF fish food has just arrived

Replaced Aquablue Special with coral+ bulb. More crisp color now, not so washout.

If i want to mix 2 part what would the mixture be like?

I just follow 3 solution video but neglect Mg mixture?

I am not very sure, but should be no issue using AF solution 1 & 2 only.

Theoretically the Mineral Salt in solution 3 (as in all Balling method) is important to fix the excess Sodium Chloride from 2-part dosing. People who use 2-part usually reduce the sodium chloride by water change.

Then again, if you just want 2 part dosing then there is no need to change from what you are using now right?

Thanks! Although the rocks still messy. I have white rocks behind the purple rocks lol

The above attachment, is the one i'm currently using. It doesn't have powder form thinking of switching it as it would be more cost efficient.

Sodium Chloride from 2-part dosing, increases salinity values of the tank right?

This is the 2 part i'm using. I'm not sure would it be the same as AF 2 part that why i'm keen to find out, to add on the current 2 part doesn't come with powder form which make AF product more cost economical..

This is what i got from AF website. 

https://aquaforest.eu/en/how-reef-mineral-salt-works/

The use of NaCl free salt is not so common any more, and application of the Balling method is often limited to 2 or sometimes 3 of its main components. This approach will probably not cause any problems for several weeks or even months, but in the meantime the chemical reactions that take place in the marine aquarium will lead to a deficit of trace elements.
Balling “Two Part” or “Light” is gaining in popularity, but the truth is that the old, but revolutionary original method was much more effective when it comes to maintaining stable water parameters. Regular use of NaCl free salt is highly recommended to help address ionic imbalance issues in the long run.

Not sure about the long term effect of that as I'm a noob myself in term of dosing. Only started dosing on this new tank.

The Two Little Fishies 2-part should be more or less similar to AF component 1 & 2 in regards of Calcium, Alk & Trace elements. 

Yes, that's what I meant, whether the ionic imbalance is an issue for you. Because many people do not care about it and they simply do water change to fix it.

Making a new batch of Component 123 and refilling

[Nooblenny]

Joined the Red Sea Reefer community, did not know Reefer tanks are so popular is US. 

My noob tank generated quite a bit of discussion, lol.

Bro for your balling method for component 1 2 3, what’s the difference you mix it yourself and the premixed ones for 1+2+3+

Traced elements for the premixed?

Main thing is cost, self-mix can save a lot.

Trace elements all the same whether self-mix or premixed. The recipe is from AF themselves
