Interested in a bulk reef supply order in the interior

[Starry]

Hey Mark,
When did you plan on placing the order? They seem to have good pricing on RO units, so maybe....

Haha...well, I guess I'll place the order soon. I didn't quite expect the response that I got, but I'm glad to see so many OK reefers coming out of the woodwork. I might PM Chin-lee to see how he ran his last bulk order and go from there.

Chin Lee is now Aquattro I think...

So I emailed Bulk Reef Supply and asked them about the GFO, this is what I said:

For that $130, which GFO is going to suck up the most phosphate? Is volume or weight the determining factor?

Cheers!

Here's his answer:

So from that, it would take 16lbs of the GFO to equal the absorbing capacity of 8lbs of the HC GFO. In that case, it costs less shipping to buy the HC GFO, and makes the HC GFO a much better buy from all perspectives.

So what do you guys say? Go for the HC?

You have such a way with words Myka...I'm convinced...HC it is.
