Should I rinse my Calcium Reactor Media??

Reefer08 · 03/11/2009, 05:45 PM

Is it a good idea to rinse my calcium reactor media? I bought the Caribsea ARM course media. I have it sitting in a bucket of RO/DI water right now. I just wanna prevent adding phosphates to my tank. Any opinions on this, thanks

I always do. Otherwise there is all sorts of dust.

I bought some ARM fine and it says no rinsing required. We'll see what happens.

I've never bothered, but it wouldnt hurt anything (assuming the rinse water is clean).
