Anyone use an AquaCare Calcium Reactor?

[Taipan]

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

It is though... Just follow the tubes, it's pretty similar to a normal one - it just has an exotic layout.

[Aquattro]

Is there not some filling and purging of a chamber for air or CO2, and pumps on timers and stuff?
Japarto swears by them and seems to think they're simple, but I'll stick the basic down flow PM design I have

[Taipan]

I think AquaCare has designed a CO2 regulator for it as well. In a complete setup; I think it counts the bubbles as well. I have no idea what I'm talking about.
