Currently does any CA media guarantee no leaching of phosphate? Last I read is that ALL calcium media leaches phosphates. If there is "no phosphate" media, I'll switch to that media.
But otherwise, I can't personally see the difference between crushed coral brand A and crushed coral brand B or crushed coral brand C.

I am actually in the planning phase of making a closed loop phoshate remover out of a Phosban reactor for the efluent of a calcium reactor.
