Love these investigation videos. Not only does it provide the reefer with important information on equipment/supplements we use, but also sends a message to companies that they need to be clear about their product claims and quality to price ratio. Having this come from an influential company like BRS has the weight behind it to make companies listen, thxs for looking out for us little guys/girls!
I was hoping you would show Calcium concentration as well, since alkalinity is only part of the information. I guess I'll have to wait for the ICP test episode.
Based on that package size, cost and output, then there is another step which is to say what is the cost per dKH point: Two Little Fishies: $0.1003/dKH Brightwell: $0.0876/dKH ARM: $0.0784/dKH So you get best value from ARM over the life of a container of media, even though it has the lowest output concentration.
Very excited to hear about the trace element test results. I suspect Reborn + ReMag would be the clear winner. Its what I've used for awhile now based on no knowledge of what's in it other than its a old coral, how could it not be your best bet?
Yes I’m one who would like to change from 2 part to a calcium reactor, but I would love to know if those trace elements are in the effluent?? That could be a game changer!!
Why would that be a fear? Your tank would have to be loaded to the max with sps to need to run a pH that low. When I run ARM around 6.5 it would not turn to mush but there was a little sediment in the bottom when I would refill.
This may be something that we can cover in the future, but do not have this ready for our current uploads. Thank you for letting us know you have interest in seeing this!
@@BRStvDid you guys ever do the ICP testing, I was just watching your recent trace element mistakes video where you referenced the ICP tests for the calcium reactor media. But can't seem to find your results. Did you ever dive into the Magnesium testing as well? I've always ran Mag media with my calcium reactor trying to help keep up the mag, but your in-depth insights would be invaluable.

Humphrey Bear Yes.
Another great video!! Thank you!
Greate video. Please continium the investigation into media trace elements. Im on the edge of my chair here.

Did BRS did the follow up video about the trace elements on this calcium reactor medias?

T Surro hi stop hiding behind the your keyboard come up with some videos buddy
@@popanddroprico6699 ?
Those Pb and Sn levels on that ICP😱😱
Great update and tan haha that beach life.
Please research the point at which each substrate will turn to mush. That's my biggest fear with the CA reactor.

@@TheTrevor40 I have mine at just under 6.4 now. I believe the mush point is below 6.1 but really more curious than anything.
When can we see new Brs investigate about ICP test on media for the trace elements ?

It will be super interesting to see ICP result of influent from different type of media
When do we get the ICP comparison?
It's on the ideas board, but we've got a few more pressing videos that we're working on. Lot's of new light fixtures to test! :)

Looks like I picked the right media 👍🏾👍🏾
Reborn isn't even available! WTF???
I run my reactor at 5ph 1 bubble per second co2 and 1 drop of output per second
Arm arginite
I don't quarantine quarantine is for dummies I do what they call the pop and drop Rico's aquarium method
Or you could really save your money and get a bag of Florida crushed Coral.
