I use crushed coral. Some of the reports I've read state that you may get an increase in Phosphates from crushed coral but they are also trying to sell items like ARM.

It is called Geo Marine Florida Crushed Coral made by CaribSea. It is the exact same thing as ARM just in a plastic bag and cheaper in price. You can get 15 lb bag at AC for about 11 bucks.

I use crush shell Aragonite. Not big like crushed coral, not sugersand. Medium grain.

I use Caribsea crushed coral. And if I have any dead coral skeletons laying around(because someone else killed them, not me of course) then I'll break those up and throw those in there also.
