ReBorn is a coarse aragonite media for calcium reactors.Composed of fossil skeletons of reef building corals sustainably harvested from pristine sites in the Western Pacific. When used in a calcium reactor where it is dissolved with CO2, ReBorn not only replenishes calcium and carbonate alkalinity, it also replenishes strontium and trace elements in the same proportions they are used by corals to build their skeletons. In this way ReBorn replaces exactly what corals need to grow. Unlike many other calcium reactor media, the coarse size of ReBorn allows for unrestricted water flow and easy diffusion of carbon dioxide, for maximum efficiency and easy maintenance of the calcium reactor. The naturally porous structure promotes carbon dioxide penetration assuring a uniform dissolution rate.ReBorn dissolves completely and will not turn to mush! These features combined with it's very low phosphate and silicate content mean that ReBorn is the ideal media to use for promoting the growth of live corals, clams, calcareous algae, and other calcifying creatures in a reef aquarium.

The grade of carbon you need, at a budget friendly price! The unique activation process ensures maximum DOC removal capability, with a minimal impact on trace element levels. No measurable phosphate or heavy metal levels. Pelletized form prevents packing and enables a higher efficiency per unit weight. Instructions Always rinse with RO / filtered water before use, in order to remove dust from shipping. We recommend 1/2 cup (125ml) of carbon for every 100 gallons of actual water volume. Place the carbon in a nylon filter media bag, and in to an area of consistent water flow (sump baffle / canister filter etc.) or employ full time in a reactor. Change every 4-6 weeks. Some prefer carbon periodically; 24-72 hours every 4-6 weeks. Try it! Unlike some competitors, Reef Crest Bulk Chemicals are sold by net weight not volume - this ensures a consistent amount of product in any package.Some settling may occur in shipping.
