Ca Reactor Media

[Charles99]

What reactor media is being used out there? I know Knop sells different sizes, so what size is best?


I will be setting up my first on a new system (240g). No SPS going in at the moment, but it will end up as a mixed reef.

Thanks for the input.

Knop Koralith, coarse. Perfect for reverse flow reactors. Also consider Schurhan media.

Tony tuned me on to this stuff while back. It works as good as any for me and cost a lot less then most.

I am using Knop Koralith Coarse as well. I don't like the fine media, as it doesn't take much to end up with a mud bath.
