kH 6.7 (tested against the standard solution)
K 360

I may have purchased an old (but not expired) potassium test kit and it seems it could be reading low. This could be a problem since I've been dosing K to try to bring the level up to 400.

I've always thought that stratification was a myth, but perhaps not. I'm going to blend the salt before my next water change and see what happens.

I did mix the salt really well between two buckets prior to making the water i tested as I transfered it to an old instant ocean pale. I then make up the 5 gallons and tested the water after 20 mins mixing.

Who knows.

Probio f or np pro
 
Hi
Anyone know of any Canadian source for probio f or np pro? Amazon.ca doesn't have np pro and they have listed the probio f as unsure if it will be restocked... Got everything else I need from Amazon.
Cheers

I heard the official AquaForrest Canadian distributor will be located in Toronto very soon. (10min drive from our door)

:)

I heard the same thing. Hopefully they can provide the products for similar pricing as Amazon.

I just picked up 2 bottles of the NP Pro as well as component strong from salty supply and got it delivered to my PO BOX across the line. They do however also ship to Canada.

Thanks...was trying to avoid paying in USD... Exchange is rough atm... Should have posted sooner we could have split shipping costs.i also have s box in Blaine may have to go that route
Wondering how long it will be until we see a Canadian distributor...
Cheers

We'll hope for the best but Amazon's shipping rates are tough to beat, on heavy boxes and pails of salt.

The guys selling on Amazon are making very small margins.

I doubt we will be able to match them.

Amazon stocks are falling. We see how long the margin difference last

Well, Amazon makes enough money to justify a $4 BILLION deficit in shipping costs every year. ;)

There is no way you guys can compete with that. If our Canadian distributor has any sense, he'll make a deal with Aquaforest that requires Aquaforest to end their relationship with Amazon.ca. Why would vendors push a product that has established pricing that he can't compete with? :)
