CR Media: Coralazarus or Caribsea ARM?

[crewdawg1981]

Okay, so I've decided that I need to try a different media in my calcium reactor (Dave came over and we were both stumped... figured to try something a bit coarser than the fine media by Caribsea). The question now is... what?

I was thinking I would go with the large media or coarse (?) by Caribsea. However, I was up at Marine Designs a while back and Mike was a big proponent of the Brightwell product Coralazarus. I cant find reviews of this stuff ANYWHERE.

Has anyone tried it? Thoughts?

I'd also need to figure out how much I'd need for my CR2. I used one gallon of the fine stuff and that was enough. I figured I'd combine it with some neomag to keep my magnesium in line as well.

ARM all the way.

I haven't used the other stuff, but if it's like everything else in the product line, it's junk.

Reborn media and Neomag has worked the best for me. ARM is my 2nd choice.

I agree much of the line is lack luster...however I have done the long hand homework and testing using both in identical systems and hands down in my findings using Coralazarus and 20% Neo Mag is the magic combo.
