take it you were happy with the stuff you got from siemens/usfilter then : )

Yes - happy enough to want more... (but I can't say for sure where it came from - I didn't put the deal together...)

An old thread reborn.
A new order would need to be handled with care. It was a touchy thing when we did it the first time I guess just over a year ago. This info has been out there for people to see for that long, things may have changed from the supplier.
Go back and read the details and see if we have enough to buy a full bucket.

Looks like many people are entering this market. getting cheaper even without group buys.

Siemens/usfilter is such a huge company with countless salesmen and regional divisions , one would think it would be pretty hard for them to effectively honer the agreement not to sell to any other aquarium related vendors.

I spoke to Mike Barry at Adedge (AD33) - he said you can buy ferric oxide hydroxide for $10-12/lb vs. phosban's $30/lb from several culligan dealers. He gave me a number,

Culligan - Flint, MI
Greg Cornell
810-232-1117

I'm told he can ship this in small quantities via UPS because it's a non hazardous material.

Who wants to call first and make his phone ring off the hook?

zachtos, is that a picture of your lighting system?? Any chance you have a link to where you bought it?

 

[zachtos]

not to get off topic, but yes, that was revision 2 of my LED prototype 6 gallon tank. Long story short, LEDs are great, but expensive and getting good quality vs. cost is too hard right now. wait a few years and we'll all be upgrading.

.zachtos' array - revision 3 uses luxeons, the most stable revison, but also the weakest

I just went through the thread and I am not sure how old is the this thread, I want to get some GFO for myself and are you guys still getting in bulk?

this goes back to 2005 and the last post was 2007. I think a bit out of date.
