There should be "fill to line" on the tube of the mini cal. I have the MTC dual tube pro cal model which has that marking. I use nice cheap caribsea aragonite formula crushed coral. You can get it in 40lb bags almost anywhere.

just fill both chambers up to a few inches from the top and use the Arm course media...Pets has it right down the road from you.
