I am curious as to what you will use it for?

Fertilizer?

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

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?

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.
