there were a couple decent sized threads on this a while back if you need more oppinions

i use Schuran styl "knock off" brand. looks the same but is cheaper. have used that for quite sometime. works better than ARM as i won't get the silt or the mush that ARM gives

Schuran knock off in the first chamber and ARM on the second.

schuran knock off? MO info, please like ABC brand, preimum aquatics.com.

 

[Deuce67]

Yup. Its the generic brand of schuran available at PA. They have that GenX media now that looks the same as the Schuran.

Knop Korallith: http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp?idproduct=KP1082

Very clean (no molusk shells) and lasts quite a while compared to other medias I've used.

BTW, I use the deltec stuff in my first stage, real crushed coral in 2nd.

 

[atzak]

Knop Koralith Coarse

Schuran media. It seems to be working great. I was an exclusive ARM user until I started Schuran. I am now converted! No more ARM mush

I agree. I use it in both stages of MTC reactor. No mush and calcium and alkalinity are always good.

Is the schuran knock off called CORAL SAND PER POUND for Schuran Reactors?

 

[zapata41]

i dont think that is the right stuff. you can tell by the size that the list for it. should be big stuff. i use schuran stuff and love it. i mainly bought it due to its great flow through size.
