Calcium Reactor Media

[bkhunt]

Well I ordered a box of 2 little fishes media and just found out after a month that they can not get boxes of media. Now I need to order elsewhere. This is the first time I am buying calcium reactor media since the reactor was full with new media when I got it. I was just going with what was in the reactor when I got it.
So my questions are:

Can I mix reactor media’s - 2LF and ARM….?

Thoughts on the “chunk” media of calcium? I am seeing for sale

Anyone know where I can find a box of 2 little fish media searching and can only find bags?

Is there another good brand of media I should be looking at?

Thank you in advance for all your help in advance.

I used the Reborn large stuff. It came in 44lb bag/box and I bought 2 boxes. Now when you can find it, it is in small size bags and the media is not quite the same. I mix the new with some of the old stuff

I can find the small bags but no boxes and the bags are so much less economical and not just a little bit either. Going to order a bag just to hold me for a while I search for a box.

Where did you find the Reborn large stuff? I'm out of media, but the recent discussions on this media is all the small coarse and the stuff is littered with "junk" in it.

I did buy the small stuff a few months back to see what it looked like. Did not find any weird stuff in it. I think I got that from BRS when they had it in stock

Florida Crushed Coral is an alternative however it is small in size.

I use the seachem reactor media. Its pretty cheap and works very well for me.

I ended up ordering a bag of reborn from live aquaria as they were the cheapest with free shipping.

I tried to find that florida media but it was sold out on amazon.

Carib Sea what? All I am seeing is very small

 

[outhouse]

Its not large but works great, It always melts just fine. I looked after I posted this and there are still 40lb bags but getting rare. I saw florida crushed coral in 40lb bags that is what Il buy next round.
