I have been running Tunze manmade media.
Only replaces ca and alk but I dose trace.
I dont run a ph probe or controller but the effluents ph is 6.5 and dkh is 20-25 when I have measured it.
Has worked well for me for 9 months ony 120.
A properly tuned carx does not affect the ph of your tank.

i know how to tune, litterly not sure whats up with thos ARM but ive litterly had to bump my bubble count way up and i run a ph probe for redundancy. i calibrate and test it against other test kits. its pretty spot on. Running 6.1 and im only getting about 17dkh effluent. had to turn my trident dosing back on because my alk has started slipping.

Interesting? I have heard from other locals that its not the same.
They have had similar issues.
I have always ran manmade media.
