I see they now sell a small size and a larger size now. { media that is}. I think there was only the one size back when I used it.

I found ARM was better at maintaining my strontium and magnesium levels than the crushed coral that I used. Someone also told me crushed coral was higher in phosphates than ARM media, for what thats worth.

I also think some thing like CaribSea Geo Marine crushed coral would be a better reactor media than the cheaper stuff stores sell for tanks. Again thats my opinion. I remember an article on all this somewhere once. One of the online mags.

Doug are you thinking of going back to a Reactor again and not doing the dosing thing?

Brad, I know you dont use a ph probe on your tank but do you have one on your reactor?

I made sure to tell him to add the port for one on mine.
