Fertilizer?

How much new GFO would you need? I buy in bulk and could spare some. You can regenerate it to your hearts content.

Are you running a salmon farm over there? :razz:

Seems I have less left than I thought I did - I just checked my bin and I think I only have 2 cups or so of High Capacity GFO to spare (1 lb). That's enough to work a 300gal tank with a serious phos issue. I buy it at $14/lb (versus $28/lb through BRS).

aswell, i have lotsa pure solid NaOH to prep a 1M solution, to regenerate used GFO. if anyone wants, i can give you the NaOH or the sol'n for free.

Let me know when you're ordering more. I just picked up some but can always have more for future use.
