ORDERS STOPPED for GROUP BUY: $14 per pound Phosban media
 

Its been a while since I set up a group buy and since I seem to enjoy the headaches and frustration of setting these things up, I thought its about time I try one again. So with all the recent talk about PHOSPHATES, lets go with Phosphate media.

5 lbs
 

WOW Chin, thanks for doing this. Thats such a great deal. I'm in for 5 lbs Thanks. :lol:
PS - I can pick up locally

:lol: :lol:

Have you ever used this product before, or do you know anyone who has?

I do. Works great.

Two pounds then for me please. I'll obviously require shipping please. Greyhound okay?

Hey Chin put me down for 4 Pounds.
Thanks, Chris

This is the GFO I'm using now, it seems to work well, and it has a nice even particle size.

Jeez Chin, the next time before I order something in, I'm calling you to see if you're doing a group order :mrgreen:

Aww man, I just picked up my bucket of GFO from the same place!

Hey Chin, any chance you could put in for a bucket of the super duuper RoX carbon from BulkReefSupply in the same group order?

They have the High Capacity FO on their site that they say is the same as imported from Germany. Kinda looks more like Rowaphos in the pictures.
If it is the same stuff compared to Premium Aquatics 5 kilo (11lb) Rowa for $249 works out to $22.60 per lb.
Bulk Supply is $359 for 16lbs is $22.40 per lb.

It's tough to figure out the prices on the smaller Rowaphos cuz they are packed by volume not weight but I'm paying $70 for 1000ml.

I'd be in for splitting a bucket of either of these.

anyone know the differences between pellet form and high capability ?

very interested either way

wow theres some other interesting things on there site would also me interested in carbon and Magnesium Sulfate

Kyle

Don't mean to make this more difficult that it already is.......:redface: I'd be into some of that.

J

I'd be into it too.

I would also be in for the carbon as well

Sorry Chin, If you want us to seperate into another thread and GB let us know

J

Here's an eBay bulk Rowaphos ad.

http://cgi.ebay.com/RowaPhos-Phospha...sid=p1638.m118

If that's the same carbon as the Matrix Carbon which it seems to be, I'd into some of that. If you need to have it shipped up on a pallet it can be dropped off at my shop. Perhaps there's a way we can individually pay Bulk Reef Supply for our share of the order.

One site claims that Pura Phoslock is the same stuff as Rowaphos.

Hi. I am currently using Rowaphos - does anyone have any "warnings" with respect to switching to the "Phosban" (unfortunately I do not have time right now to research this issue on my own). In the absence of any significant issue, I am in for 2 pounds and can pick-up.

Thanks.

I was thinking of doing something like this for the Edmonton Area, too. I'm not sure there's any benefit in a group buy to BC, unless someone volunteers to truck it back to us. If so, I'd be good for a couple of pounds.

Matt

The same price as Premium Aquatics.

I will take a lb of phosban to chin would you be able to ship it on the grey hound to Brandon , let me know ok .

I am in for 2 lbs.
will pick up.
PM'ed.
Thank you Chin for oganazing this group buy.

Ya...What Chin said....Thanks Chin for doing this!

I'm in for 5lbs too
I can pick up

2 lbs for Scumchug

Sorry guys I have no plans to expand beyond phosphate media at this time.
I would rather expand later because the shipping cost doesn't make it much cheaper with more items. I am hoping Customs will bypass any duty if its for a hobby club of some sort.

Running total moved to first post

2 lbs for Matt. Any other Edmonton orders can piggyback with me to minimize/share shipping costs. I'll accept either the granulated or pelletized FO. Not interested in the high capacity.

Cheers,
Matt

I take it this will work in the phosban reactor i take it just checking I'm new to the reactor thingy...

oh ya is this stuff better then tropic marin elim phos

I'm in for 3 pounds.

Just bought 1000ml of Rowaphos, but put me down for 3 lbs too I guess. Gotta support a buddy's group buy:biggrin:

don't need to support it just for fun bud. But judging by the way you feed, you are going to need 12 lbs :mrgreen:

Anybody else?
 

Anybody else interested in this?

put me down for 2 lbs. If you want me to pay in advance since I rarely post on this board let me know.

Thanks, Chin. Let's get 'er done. These phosphates ain't gonna adsorb theyselves, you know!
