I've bought all my rodi supplies with Russ at Buckeye. He is simply the best. Awesome service, before and after the sale.

New Alameda Aquatics will be stocking Dowflake and Magflake. I got the supplier info to Steve this week, and he'll order up a bunch.

Sweet Norman - it would be nice to get it local and support a lfs at the same time.

I think that's not gonna be good for them. Who's gonna buy their stocks of seachem and kent's brand of ca and mg now?

 

[Mr. Ugly]

Well, some people don't want to mix up their own 2 part. Just like some people don't want to mix their own SW.

Mainly, Steve will be stocking the stuff as a customer convenience for those that want to go the DIY route. Which is cool by me

second mr. ugly's comments about people having their own preferences about DIY, cool by me too.. i want to try mixing my own 2-part this summer..

 

[Mr. Ugly]

DIY is easy. I've been using the Randy recipe for about a year now.

The alk portion won't completely dissolve at first. I just leave it in the jug and give it a shake if I remember to when I pass by. Usually it's completely dissolved in a day or so.

Mr. Ugly is right on. DIY is cheaper but you have to pay attention to how much you add and what not. some people will pay for the ease of already mixed cal/alk some wont. thats all.
sounds like a good deal.
