albertareef Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Hi all, It is getting to the point that I need to restock my Ca reactor and thought it might be a good opportunity to see what folk here recommend/prefer for media. There seem to be a few more widely available options like ReBorn (Little Fishes), ARM (Caribsea) and Reef Reactor (Seachem) but probably more that I am missing. Like many things reef, I would expect people to have some opinions on their relative merit and, of course, would be interested to hear those along with positive/negative experiences if you are willing to share. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaywood Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) I use ARM extra course. Recommend ARM but not the extra course. Seems to take more work to break down. I add ZeoMag too. Edited August 13, 2017 by shaywood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higher Thinking Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Also, as I mentioned to Robert earlier today, I also use the skeletons of coral I've managed to kill off. I just fill the canister with dead coral and tears. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
