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

[Chin_Lee]

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.

CHANGE IN SUPPLIER TO BRING PRICE DOWN TO
$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.

JUST BECAUSE I AM A SUCKER FOR PUNISHMENT, I WILL SHIP TO THOSE WHO CANNOT PICK UP LOCALLY BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO COVER YOUR OWN SHIPPING COSTS

ANY PAYMENTS BY PAYPAL PLEASE ADD 1.5% PAYPAL FEES

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

[albert_dao]

I do. Works great.

[michika]

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

[Chowder]

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

[fkshiu]

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
