geo calcium reactor media

reefpatrol3 · 03/13/2009, 08:55 PM

I just bought a new geo 624 calcium reactor and was sent the smaller A.R.M. media which is to small for the geo reactor. most of it goes through the screem that they have on the bottom. No place local sell the coarse stuff so it will have to be ordered.
So is there any other type of media that I can use such as the larger shells that the local places sell as substrate to go on the bottom of reeef tanks. Or can I use a pice of sponge or other filter type stuff to put in the bottom of the Geo reactor to keep the smaller stuff from passing through?

I used a piece of fiberglass window screen in my reactor for the arm media.Never had a problem

I'd stick with the coarse ARM media. It eliminates any clogging problems.
