Best Ca Reactor Media

Giovanni · 04/13/2006, 03:08 PM

I have purchased a Coralife 250 Ca reactor. I would like to know what kind of media to get. Does anyone use crushed coral, the inexpensive stuff? Do certain reactor/ reactor designs do better with a particular type of media? This one is a reverse flow type. Thanks in advance.

i currently use the schran type media and like it a lot. before that I was using crushed coral. the schuran type disolves much better IMO

ARM dissloves very well... Koralith takes a much lower Ph (aka, more C02) to dissolve- I hated it
