Has anyone used bulk phosphate remover?

[Anonymous]

Like that sold by twopartsolutions.com? Is it all really the same stuff out there (GFO types)? I just want to make sure before plunking down $70 for a bunch of it!

i'm currently looking into finding a bayoxide 33 supplier-the markup on that stuff must be outrageously beneficial two whoever sells it as a final 'po4 remover' product for the aquarium industry-i'd rather get afew hundred pounds, have enough for 5-10years, and split it with friends, if necessary

There is only one supplier in the US and it really isn't that much cheaper than what you can get it from Twopartsolution for. If you buy a really large quantity, it may be a decent deal, but I've heard there minimum order is around $500 worth. There was a few people from the Boston reef group that did a group order of it. Here is a link to there thread:

To anyone who reads this: Please only call this company if you are seriously thinking of ordering this stuff in bulk. I'd hate for them to cut out all dealing with hobbiests due to a bombardment of calls from people looking to buy 5 or 10 dollars worth. I'll probably be placing a bulk order myself in a few weeks for our local club.

i'm not looking into this on a hobbyist level, but rather on an industry use level

the quantities i would need to use/order would certainly justify buying it from closer to the source, and more than 500 bux worth

this would be for a system of about 20K gallons plus

Cool. I hope that works out.
