Calcium reactor media reborn

[epsteino]

Hi, I’m considering using reborn as calcium reactor media. Is there any worry of this media carrying pests or anything alive?

Worried about adding things like briopsis, bubble algae, aiptasia, flatworms etc. I believe this stuff is directly from the ocean?

Thanks

Hello
I have been used it for years without any issues. The media melts around 6.9

Thank you. Do you have any pests in your tank? Aiptasia? Bubble algae? Briopsis? Flatworms? Vermitid snails?

Its a dry media, shouldn't have any pests on it, I use the large course pieces and my melt point is 6.3 with a secondary chamber and my effluent is 25 to keep with demands

No, the media are dead corals, so it does not contain pests like you describe.
There is a BRS video where says that has more phosphate that other medias, but I don't have any problems with that.
