10l is a lot. Did you use it all?

 

[acesq]

Yes, plus another 8 l of the 15 mm.

I think I paid like 90 bucks for 10L of the 15mm from Austria. Kinda hard to swallow 239 for 10L

take a rod to pile them up and then pull it out.

Like this:

When I first got my Siporax I couldn't be buggered to stack it and I just threw 5 Litres into an eggcrate box.

I decided to clean up the sump today and came up with a nifty little method for stacking.

in the background you can see my messy box!!!

And the end result only about 1/2 an hour later!

Takes up waaaay less space too!

Now you tell us. Smart guy. Simplicity blows me away always. Thanks.

That was from back in the thread a bit...

So it looks like each cylinder covers the square of a 1/2" X 1/2" egg crate. About how many pieces are in a 1000ml box of siporax? Trying to figure out how much siporax to order in relation to filling an egg crate box?

I ordered 2 25L of the 25mm from here:

What is the effect on phosphates?

 

[slavetonet]

It works so well that I need to dose po4 and no3 with potassium nitrate and phosphate.
Stupidly good stuff - I am impress after 5 months of it.

did u receive it yet? im a bit iffy of

"Shipped in a sterile, sealed zip lock bag and a rigid cardboard box"

ive seen some third party companies make these and label as siporax. my 10L came in an actual siporax yellow tub.

 

[Scorpius]

Just ordered two boxes of this stuff. Dealing with slightly elevated nitrates due to my Chaeto algae dying off. Hoping this stuff will give me an easy way to manage nitrates without having to worry about Chaeto going south and not doing it's job.

I have ordered 3 times now from the guy on ebay from Austria (Wttomy1) . Mine came in sealed bags with no labels on the bags at all. (except for my first order where the dude sent me 40 Litres loose in one big bag.... that was a ****-off and he gave e a few free Litres on my next order to make up for it.... The guy is a "Top Rated seller" with 3845 positive feedback.

Mine came in a box like this all 3 times with samples of Sera food and a bunch of ugly Sera FW calendars

There was a guy in my group buy who didn't trust that is was real so I sold his to someone else in about 30 seconds....
