Precision and convenience #
Do you run a marine aquarium and need a solution that helps you maintain stable water parameters – without taking up an entire shelf in your aquarium room? Discover Component 1+2+3+ Concentrate – a modern and incredibly practical solution for reef enthusiasts. It’s the essence of the proven Balling method, packed into convenient 1-liter bottles.
What is Component 1+2+3+ Concentrate? #
It’s a set of high-quality concentrates that allow you to easily prepare the three essential solutions: Component 1+, 2+, and 3+, necessary for maintaining proper levels of calcium, magnesium, and KH in a marine aquarium. One liter of concentrate yields up to 5 liters of ready-to-use solution – with no compromises on quality or effectiveness. Each solution contains a full balance of essential micro and macro elements that support healthy coral growth and vibrant coloration.
Why try Component 1+2+3+ Concentrate? #
Compact size and space-saving #
Say goodbye to bulky canisters – switch to handy bottles! Thanks to its concentrated formula, this product saves space during both storage and transport – without sacrificing quality or performance.
Easy preparation #
Each of the three concentrates can be quickly and easily diluted in reverse osmosis (RO) water. Even if you’re new to the Balling method, solution preparation is simple and intuitive.
Perfectly tailored to your reef’s needs #
Thanks to flexible dosing, you can adjust the amount of each solution according to your aquarium’s actual needs. For moderately stocked SPS tanks, the suggested dose is 25 ml of diluted product per day per 100 liters of aquarium water – but this is just a starting point. Regular testing of Ca, Mg, and KH levels will allow you to fine-tune the dosage with precision.
Caution – highly concentrated! #
Component Concentrate is 5 times more concentrated than standard Component 1+2+3+ solutions. While you can dose it directly from the bottle, we strongly recommend careful calculations – sudden parameter shifts can stress or harm your reef inhabitants.
Component 1+2+3+ Concentrate – FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions #
What is Component 1+2+3+ Concentrate? #
It’s a set of high-quality concentrates used to prepare Component 1+, 2+, and 3+ solutions according to the Balling method. These solutions help maintain the proper levels of calcium, magnesium, and KH in a marine aquarium.
How much ready-to-use solution can I prepare from one bottle of Component 1+2+3+ Concentrate? #
From one 1-liter bottle of concentrate, you can prepare up to 5 liters of ready-to-use Component 1+, 2+, or 3+ solution.
Do I need to dilute the Component 1+2+3+ Concentrate before dosing? #
It’s not strictly necessary, but we strongly recommend dilution. The product is 5 times more concentrated than standard Component 1+, 2+, and 3+ solutions, so dilution makes dosing easier and safer.
How do I properly prepare the solution? #
Each concentrate is prepared similarly: pour the concentrate into a clean container, rinse the bottle several times with RO water, and top up to 5 liters. For Component 2+, use warm water (~40°C) to facilitate dissolution.
Can I mix Component 1+, 2+, and 3+ in one container? #
No. Each solution should be stored and dosed separately. Mixing them may cause precipitation and disrupt water parameters. If you prefer a single-solution method, try Component 3in1 instead.
What are the recommended daily dosages? #
For a moderately stocked reef tank, the suggested dosage is 25 ml of diluted product per day per 100 liters of aquarium water, for each solution. Always adjust dosing based on regular testing of calcium, magnesium, and KH levels.
How often should I test water parameters? #
We recommend testing calcium, magnesium, and KH weekly. When changing dosages, you may test more frequently – every 2-3 days.
What should I do if one parameter depletes faster than the others? #
In such cases, it’s best to use additional products using Ca Plus, Mg Plus, or KH Plus to supplement only the specific element – without affecting the balance of the others.
Do precipitates in the concentrate mean the product is spoiled? #
No. Precipitates or crystallization are natural in highly concentrated products. This does not affect the quality or effectiveness of the concentrate.
