  Description
CaribSea A.R.M. Calcium Reactor Media—A complete reactor media containing not only calcium and carbonate, but essential trace elements as well. In fact CaribSea A.R.M. Calcium Reactor Media has nearly 50 times the strontium of other brands (7,390 ppm). CaribSea A.R.M. Calcium Reactor Media is processed for immediate use, no rinsing required, and has double the surface area of regular aragonite. Precision grading (2-3mm) allows for maximum carbon dioxide penetration, and the exclusion of gastrpod shells insures the lowest phosphate and silica (about 1/2 that of other brands) content. This grading also carries in the heighest concentration of Halimeda incrassata, an aragonite so pure it has been used as a laboratory standard. A.R.M. has the highest solubility of any reactor media available (metastable at 8.2) so CO2 consumption is much lower. CaribSea A.R.M. Calcium Reactor Media, its what your corals are made of. Bulk 50-pound bag.

Comments: I used 100 lbs. of media in my new 75 gal. reef tank. It's been 2 months, and all conditions in the tank are good. The media looks great also, and the fish enjoy "chewing on the small pebbles".
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great
good product by KEITH PRANTIS

Comments: Its the best that I could find from my research, seems to work reasonably well, but is deficient in magnesium so I add dolomite to the mix to make up for the magnesium and have much better results. Does leach a little phosphate but I can't see any natural crushed coral/shells not leaching some so thats not a real problem.
Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
