I would prefer the high capacity stuff. It seems to remove twice as much, but not cost twice as much.

This would also make shipping better.

If you go for the high capacity stuff I will be in for 10 lbs!

If not I will think about it.:biggrin:

Also , if anybody wants to do the carbon I will also buy lots of it, maybe 20 lbs!

I don't like to mess around.:wink:

sorry
 

sorry but I'm not going to change the product at this point in time. I read the product description and it says the HC GFO is able to remove roughly twice as much phosphate for the same volume of material.

That "ROUGHLY" clause is not good enough for me to justify the increased cost. I don't know if they can elaborate on "roughly" but the cost difference between the two is $13.33 per lb and $20 per lb. Rounding the numbers up, I could also say the HC GFO "roughly" twice the cost of the regular GFO but its really its 1.5 times the cost.

when ya getting the stuff Chin. :mrgreen:

OK, I will get the normal stuff. The thing is the cost of getting it from you to me.

I will see what locals here want to do, I may just buy my own pail, but you never know.

God luck on the GB though, great idea.:wink:

Mike
i'm going to order it this week.

I'm in for 2LBS if still available.

great idea chin i will take 3 pounds

Sorry, but I will have to pass and give up my 2lbs. I just found an unopened container in my supply box.

If you end up getting any HC GFO I would buy that. I like the HC just because I don't have to replace it as often. LOL.

$14 per pound?????
 

Good news guys and gals
I have been able to contact the supplier of GFO and this company has confirmed that they do supply the granular and pellet GFO to "various companies" that sell this stuff as aquarium phosphate removal media.

If I can get enough interest for about 70-75 lbs, they will sell me a bulk granular drum of 75 pounds. After shipping and taxes, I think can bring the price of this GFO to $14 per pound.

Unfortunately they do not sell the high-capacity GFO media so they must acquire the high-capacity GFO media from another company.

We are at about 55 lbs right now and I need another 20 or so lbs to get the price down to $14.

If you do not feel comfortable with this change in supplier, please let me know if you want to withdraw your amount.

If you are still interested, I encourage you to add a pound or two to your order so I can bring the price down a couple of dollars per pound.

Chin if it's not too late please put me down for 5lbs thx Chris

OK Chin. Put me down for 5 lbs instead of 3 lbs.

I'll post an ad for you in BCAquaria to see if any other local reefers are interested.

Anthony

Scott

Mitch

I'll go from 2 lbs to 4 lbs.

2 pounds to 4 pounds. Thanks.

2lbs to 3lbs

Good work buddy!

Put me down for 10 lbs, please!:mrgreen::mrgreen:

It looks like that gets us to over 30 lbs more. Hope I can still get in. If I can't it is OK.

By the way, in case it hasn't been said loudly enough or often enough: Thank you, Chin!

Hey Chin is this group deal still on?? if it is put me down for 3lbs and i'll ask a friend of mine to see if he wants to join in on the order. do you require the payment upfront? or when we go pick it up

2 lbs please
 

Hi Chin,
Please put me down for 2 lbs. Can I send you an e-mail transfer?
Cheers,
Phil

no problem
 

you're welcome guys. I'm waiting for a few more replies from the list of people who've already committed and then I will close the buy. Anybody who wishes to participate before I close will get in.

FYI - the drum is 75 minimum and I don't know what the maximum is but i believe its around 100. Will confirm with supplier and let you all know.

This is a crazy amount of GFO!!!!

I'm assuming that much will be shipped on a slow truck. I'm figuring a few weeks before delivery, Chin?

Chin thanls again let me know when you want me to pay pal you ok

mike

Chin i'm down for 4 pounds

Kyle

Alright Chin, ya gots to me - put me down for 3 lbs.

Any word on whether you can get a deal on the carbon?

hey Chin, i just got a message from my friend and he wants 2lbs, so could you change my 3lbs to 5lbs? thanks!:biggrin:

Group Buy End
 

We are over the 100 lb mark and I've forgotten to add myself to the list. :lol:

I've put through the order and waiting for response at this time.

I'm sure you can short some of us who "bought up" -- don't leave yourself out of the buy!

Yeah Chin. If you need some of the Phosban media, drop me back down to 3 lbs & take the 2 extra I added.

You can take My extra pound too.

Please feel free to "adjust" me down a pound if necesary.

You can drop me down 1 lb, maybe 2.:wink: I am sooo generous.


You can actually do what you need with me.:lol:

I can go back to the original 5.......

Scott

PS Chin is gonna end up with half the order....lol

Just give everyone 15oz lbs. You'll feel like a proper 'dealer' then.

XD

Shipment arrives January 25
 

Thanks for all your hard work Chin. Will see you next week.:biggrin:
Chris
