Default anode or crystals

Just a quick question. When I first got the copy chrome kit I could swear that it said "the plating material is coming from the crystals, not the anode" in other words the actual material that ends up on the surface of my part is dissolved in the solution. Today I read the copy chrome descriptive/ order page, and it said that the crystals are virtually everlasting and the only thing that gets depleted is the anode. So the material that ends up on the surface of my part is coming from the anode? Which is it? My system stopped plating and I need to replenish something. Although after about 10 straight hours of plating, maybe 5 square feet of plated area, I don't see how anything can be depleted except my patience.
I'd like to say a preemptive "thank you" for the help that will come (I hope) in the near future.
