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.

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.

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.

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.
