Ladies and gentlemen If you’ve done a lil research you'll know there is a difference from just any 'ol carbon. Getting high quality carbon as some of you may know is not cheap. Ive participated from what I consider successful group buys on carbon before. But at a later date we found this carbon out to be substandard and now I have found the deal of the year on some high quality carbon.
The difference with this carbon than some is first it is meant and designed for fluidized filtration. You'll be surprised to find out how many carbons aren’t even meant for aquatic purposes, but intended for air filtration or some other use.2nd, it is GAC (granular activated carbon) This has been proven to have more surface area than pelletized carbon. Also it is coal based not coconut shell based, water rinsed and importantly, acid washed(also a distinguishing factor in grade and quality ).
This carbon was approved by someone I consider to be a major guru on the topic here on the boards, and with some research through the chem. forums you'll get an idea who I may be referring to.
But anyway, here’s the kicker: 1st 55lb. bag shipped = $64 and some change. That’s just over a buck a pound for some high grade stuff. These will be distributed in 5lb. increments for 7$ to MARS(ya you to BAR,CVR ) members and 5lb. increments for 10$ to non-member locals.
Not to cut anyone out, but my way of giving something cool back to the clubs that support our hobby and reefs, and at the same time a sweeet deal to the local dabbler. Yes Im making a few bucks, but with the cost of driving this stuff around to meet up all with you all and the cost of bags this seems to be about right.. Depending on how many would like to jump on board upon delivery I would like to disperse to those ready the following weekend possibly at yourreef with John's permission first of course or a comparable location . The second and last disbursement will be at the following monthly meeting at Round Table(hopefully). If I get a lot of you that know me or have dealt with me in the past Im willing to go up to (4)55lb. bags. If its everyone and there brother Im going to cap it off at (3) 55lb bags, I will let this run till next Friday which I will then tally up cash/paypal and make the appropriate order.
This is straight from the manufacturer which just so happens to be the distributor which offers a 1 time minimum 1 bag purchase, other wise deals solely in bulk which also means sweet deal for me and you! Cheers :beer:
