frankb Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I have a question about calcium reactor media. Which brand do you recommend and how often it should be replaced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjohnwoody Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I really like the ARM media and I have a Geo reactor and have always heard to replace the media when it has reduced by half. So basically when it's half empty I clean my reactor and replace my media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smann Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I use ARM Coarse, doesnt clog up like sand used to, also ad Mag media, I dont "replace" it I usually open it up and clean the reactor and media when it has dissolved down to about a 1/3 left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate213 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I personally like the ARM course media. I never change it out, I just add more as the level drops. (I try to keep the reactor 3/4 full.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBret Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I do the same as Nate213, with arm media. i also add a 1 to 9 ratio of magnesium media to help out the that. I have never changed out just keep adding when it gets half empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankb Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 Thank you for the responses. Do you buy this ARM media online or our lfs have this in stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriz2fer Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Yeah make sure you get the bigger media cause the sand stuff gets clogged a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
