Where can you buy the stuff? At a winemaking kind of place, maybe?

I bought off of Amazon and health food stores. I just checked Amazon and of coarse with the falling dollar it's $35 a pound. Make sure it's food grade |
Something like this? But seems way cheaper than #35/lb so maybe it's the wrong stuff? http://www.amazon.com/Grade-Pound-Wy...rade+bentonite

Yep good deal. Same stuff
|
So I did a bunch of hunting around. A biologist that I'm familiar with says that bentonite has enough copper in it to be detrimental to a reef tank. He also said he's analyzed Coral Snow and it is a type of clay, but he can't divulge any more information than that. It is not chalk and it is not bentonite.

Was it food grade that he spoke of
|
Proteus, do you have snails and crabs in your tank?
If so, then there is not enough copper in the bentonite you use. Where do you source yours? Thanks |
Yes snail, few hermits, seastar, shrimp. Lots of critters
I buy from health foods store. It's food grade as some people eat it |

Though it stated that these are treated and added to the mixture. Not saying mine does or does not. Though I have a healthy tank |
