Phosphate Remover:Granular Ferric Hydroxide

I want to know if anyone tried to get some of these stuff? I heard that it suppose to be the same material that are sold by the these major companies.

Here is a link to a more detail explanation of these good stuff
http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-11/rhf/index.php

So if it is as good as the stuff we pay so much for, maybe someone can get some.. Is spykes reading this?

I used some I bought off RC, they looked the same and I didn't see any ill effect.

I understand the Jersey folks did a group buy on this stuff too. Who is the group buy king again??
