Bulk Ca and Alk - Cheaper then BRS!

[KPG007]

Looking for a way to save money in this expensive hobby? I started using bulk additives years ago, but just recently discovered a good friend can get me the them at a huge discount (he owns a chemical company). So, time to share the savings!

Calcium Chloride - $2.50 lb (BRS $2.81 lb after shipping ect)
Sodium Carbonate (Soda Ash - Used for Alkalinity) - $2.50 lb (BRS - $2.81 lb)

A quick look at J&L shows 1 KG (2.2 lbs) Seachem Calcium on sale for $22.05! Alk (1.2 Kg or 2.65 lbs) for $19.95$

I'd prefer to sell in 5lb lots, but more or less is possible too. Get a full bag (Ca - 50lbs, Alk - 55lbs) and I'll give you an even better discount!

Sure, but you have to pay shipping. As it is not live goods, it can go Canada Post - snail mail.

Ron! Glad to see you're back! Not to worry, as long as I have tanks, I will have lots of additives.
I have the Ca and Alk, and can also get Magnesium Sulphate really cheap ($2 lb. BRS is $2.46), but for some reason Magnesium Chloride is way more then BRS ($5 for me and $3.28 at BRS). I'm sure we can get Magnesium Chloride from them and the rest through my guy and get what we need for the best price possible.

Hey Kelly, I'll take 5lbs of each from you when I come by to pickup our pump group order.

Thanks for the bump, didn't notice this previously!

[KPG007]

Sounds good, see you then.

Will your friend also be supplying Magnesium any chance?

I will for sure contact in the future when I run out of my calcium though!

Mag is different. It is actually 2 parts - Magnesium Chloride and Magnesium Sulfate. Mag Sulfate is really cheap and not a problem. Mag Chloride, on the other hand, is quiet expensive, and his cost is much more then BRS, so not worth bringing in.
I only have a small amount of each right now. If there is enough of a demand I could bring in a couple bags of Mag Sulphate and order the Mag Chloride from BRS.
