BRS Two Part Calcium and Alkalinity Solution

[lastlight]

I doubt the stuff available locally is the same grade. BRS a while back also upgraded grades. My jugs of Ca, Alk, and Mg appear to be jugs of clean water. From talking to other reefers a lot of the other bulk stuff is not like this. Not saying that equates to quality but with my small tank I had no problem paying a little bit extra for BRS. It's apparent that my one batch is going to last longer than a year.

Aquarium Illusions in Edmonton carries BRS products.

Really ?
I haven't seen any BRS products there...
maybe they replaced the sticker with something else :P

I use the BRS products. They're great! I understand Oceanic Corals is carrying it now.

Dang, Kevotron, I just put in an order, too, or I would have loved to share the shipping cost with you.
I haven't used BRS' chemicals but have read about it lots from Canreef. I had to buy some Seachem stuff recently. Just a little bottle of the Calcium (1.1lbs!!)was $19!! So I thought that this is WAY better way to go. BRS's stuff is about $2.50 or so a lb. So i just close my eyes when it comes to the S/H charges. If you buy a large enough batch, I guess it evens out (or even put you ahead of the cost) at the end.
I am not on Auto dosing, can't affort to buy the dosing unit, so I do it manually. I have NO IDEA as to how I am suppose to do this if ever I go on a holiday.

AWW DAMN IT ! lol ya we could of split the S/H cost !!!
as for if u go on vacation... if u goto those "science" stores theres one in Southgate mall they have lab equipment and maybe u can set up some sort of a titration unit that will drip into ur tank or sump ??

Ahhh...You see...for a reef nut, notice I didn't say "geek", I am pretty much very low tech. I'd need someone to show me how to do that.
For what it's worth, I ordered the large pkg of recipe 1, and I am willing to split with you (except I would like to keep the dispensing pump and jugs). All the items as listed on BRS (1 Gal of each) we can split in half, if you will help pay for the other half of the S/H.
So next time we order, we maybe able to co-ordinate, if not with each other, then someone else on Canreef. 780-907-0054 if you're interested.
