What's the best place to get KORALlith?

[LCGoldman]

I need to refill my Knop-C Calcium reactor... been a while since I did any price comparison shopping.

Can anyone recommend the best place to purchase Knop KORALlith?

And, which size (fine, medium, or coarse) should I get?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Lonnie

P.S. If anyone is unsure whether it's ok to post suggestions/prices, please feel free to PM me

Hey Lonnie long time no see. I was out in your neck of the woods today. Had to pick up a Volvo I dont remember where i got my media from but i know it was mailordered LOL

i would go with Schuran media. No Phosphates and is powerful media. Destroyed crappy ARM media by far.

Hey Chris,

Was the Volvo for yourself?

Which grain of the KORALlith do you use?

 

[cb747]

Nope wasnt for me. I dont really care for them much anyway.
As for the koralith i used the fine to medium grain

Hello,
Just curious as to how no phosphates were determined?
Powerul media in what way?

I use a similar media and I'm happy with it.

ARM has worked all this time for me and dissolves easily at 6.7, Can't see where the crappiness is.

I tried the large size once and was not happy with it. It may have needed a lower pH.
I did use the medium as well.
The smaller would probably be better for smaller reactors, but from what I've seen, all media releases PO4.
I am now finishing up my ARM media which has worked well, and primarily use a media similar to the Shuran media (its a smaller size coral rubble). I've also been playing with adding some dolomite to the reactor to help with Mg as well.
I run some Rowaphos after my reactors to catch the PO4 that all media release.
