Better opt back into the Thirsty group buy so you have something to use up all that calcium.

Wondering if you see more benefits using their media for the reactor vs traditional bones?
Was on the fence debating using their media in a duel Geo

This media has a much lower melting point

I know the dastaco media needs a much lower ph to melt. If I put bones in mine it would turn to mush right away.

I’ve always wanted one. So jelly. I hope it does well for you. I’m thinking about going the calcium reactor route too.

Just wondering the difference on the media since Dastaco claims its more pure with less phosphate and gunk

This tank has been driving me nuts. It looks like someone used steel wool to clean it. I know I'll probably catch some crap and I'm doing something that I've said I'll never do.

Im swapping everything over to a 300xl...
