A complete reactor media containing not only calcium and carbonate, but essential trace elements as well. In fact A.R.M. has nearly 50 times the strontium of other brands (7,390 ppm) A.R.M. is processed for immediate use, no rinsing required, and has double the surface area of regular aragonite. Precision grading (2-3mm) allows for maximum carbon dioxide penetration, and the exclusion of gastrpod shells ensures the lowest phosphate (less than 1/10 of 1 ppm) and silica (about 1/2 that of other brands) content. This grading also carries in the highest concentration of Halimeda incrassata, an aragonite so pure it has been used as a laboratory standard. A.R.M. has the highest solubility of any reactor media available (metastable at 8.2), so CO2 consumption is much lower. A.R.M., its what yoru corals are made of. 8 lb.

This is the first course media I've went with and I love it! I use it with a pH controller and have a mid point of 6.5 with it dropping to around 6.45 and the rate of usage is amazing. I'd recommed this to all of my friends if they had SW tanks. ;)

In a DIY sulfur reactor to battle nitrates. Along with LSM it does what it's supposed to do.

What you wish for! The concentration of Calcium is great! I filled my reactor waited two days and tested. Calcium coming out of the reactor is above 500ppm. Needless to say I now have to reduce the amount of media used in the reactor and dial the dosage to a lower setting . :) What a great problem to have.

I just set up my first CA reactor, and following manufacturer's recommendations, I selected a coarse media. I was surprised how dust free the ARM was and how clear the tank water in the reactor was, an indication that the CaribSea process is high quality. I soaked the media before using and measured for unwanted PO4. The results were negligible.

Great reactor media, a little over priced, but probably worth it.
I suggest adding a little (5% ) magnesium crystals to boost your mag levels.
Yes, it does already have magnesium in it, but many peoples mag levels run low and this helps.
