BRS chemicals are pharmacetical grade that they purchase in bulk and spend little to no money on fancy packaging or advertising so they can offer the good stuff in large quantities than companies like Kent/SeaChem/Marineland, etc. Most of the other companies use food grade or "industrial grade".

Remember that food grade and industrial grade doesnt necessarily mean its purer - the differenent grades allow for different levels of certains elements to exist within the product. I would think the pharm. grade stuff has fewer "toxic" or "reactive" elements for its probably being used in conjuction with other items to create medication and what not.

I'm sure Caco's stuff will be just as good as lBRS's as long as its certified as pharmacetical grade.

A very busy day,and its not over yet.
I received the chemicals
Wow the price difference between food grade and pharmaceutical grade.
Who want to do some testing post some replies.
The 1st 5 people that post on this forum will be the ones to have a 1st go at it and documented of course on canreef and caco3reef.
Sorry only Calgarians or i should say whoever can pickup the bulk reef chemicals.
I should have most of the information on the bulk reef chemicals up in the next couple days.
of course i will be doing some testing to.

I'd be interested ... What do you want to see for test results? Things I can think of are 1) ease of mixing, 2) params before/after dosing.

And a detailed writeup about every and each chemical
we carry to have it posted here on canreef and on caco3reef

Any input good or bad is good enough for me and fellow reefers.
