(Bio)³ Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I just picked up a calcium reactor and Iw ant to get some fresh media during this BRS GB. What size granular do I want? Looks to be small, coarse and extra coarse. TIA Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Bio)³ Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Thanks mitch! Another question, it currently has some media in it but has been sitting for a bit with SW inside to keep the PH probe wet. Is there a way to rinse it safely and reuse or is it something I need to chuck out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Like Mitch said, extra coarse size for sure. You can rinse the media and reuse, shouldn't be a problem. -Ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Mitch Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Hmm, personally I would chuck, clean out the reactor, and fill with new media. To me, it's not worth introducing whatever is in the reactor into your tank, but yes you can rinse and reuse if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll go in on some with you if its a better deal to get a large container. It'll be a while before I get it up and running but that'll be one less thing.

I think I'm going to rinse this media and reuse plus add some from BRS. The tank it came out of was an amazing tank, plus having sat I doubt anything would still be alive. I'll rinse it real well then let it dry for a couple days prior to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
