Reactor media

[Doug]

So besides ARM which other media do you guys use. I used Geo Marine crushed coral, [I think thats what its called], back in the day. Is that the crushed coral you guys use? Brad ?

I use some bulk crushed coral. Picked up a 50 pound bag. No idea if it's a brand or not.

I see they now sell a small size and a larger size now. { media that is}. I think there was only the one size back when I used it.

I found ARM was better at maintaining my strontium and magnesium levels than the crushed coral that I used. Someone also told me crushed coral was higher in phosphates than ARM media, for what thats worth.

I also think some thing like CaribSea Geo Marine crushed coral would be a better reactor media than the cheaper stuff stores sell for tanks. Again thats my opinion. I remember an article on all this somewhere once. One of the online mags.

Doug are you thinking of going back to a Reactor again and not doing the dosing thing?
