Anyone use an AquaCare Calcium Reactor?

Love to pick your brain for a few minutes. Thanks.

JJ knows all about them.

Dana uses one too, I think she actually got it to work. No idea how -lol

Subscribed. I'm following along. These are supposed to be the "unicorn" of calcium reactors. However; I have yet to understand how it actually works. No one has been able to actually explain it to my feeble mind. I've read the instructions in (English and German) and was intimidated.

They're like a normal ca reactor. They are just optimized to dissolve a synthetic media instead of crushed coral.

Is synthetic media mandatory or optional for this setup?

[Aquattro]

Hope it's optional, because many of the people I know using them are using regular media
My one friend spent a month trying to figure it out, doesn't sound like a regular reactor at all
