In all seriousness, our own MG won't be for a while. The combo kits, some time this week.

Thanks

I currently dose Bulk Reef Supply's two part system. I'm assuming they will be on your list as I'm pretty sure they're the biggest and most well known two part provider to the reefing community in North America at this point.

I'd love to be buying Canadian and would happily switch as long as the product is similar. I'm curious, is this product the same. Will the dosing amounts for 5 gallons of your chemicals have the same effect as 5 gallons of theirs?

If I'm dosing 150ml a day of BRS Solution ... will it be comparable to the amount of your solution I will have to dose for the same impact on my parameters?

Thanks Ray!! Looking forward to saving on some shipping !

Hi,

It is very very hard for me to say that they are the same. We have not tested nor ever worked with their products. One of the only things that can differ is the density. Our 5 gallon mix weighs right around 2.4KG.

With that being said, there are always adjustments to make when changing products. Be expecting a slight increase or decrease in dosing regimen.

What you can do is test both products before dosing. For example, fill up two 3 litter bottles with RODI water and add 1ML our stuff in one and 1ML of a comparable in the other and test the KH in both. So if our stuff is +/- 5% for example, you dial in your ML/day according to that.

thanks,

Ray

It would seem Reef Supplies is slowly becoming our very own BRS north of the border. They are getting all those extras you just can't find anywhere else.

Yup, if they can carry similar products, they'll do very well. Most people north of the border seem to order a lot from Bulk Reef Supply even though the shipping costs a fortune through them.

With BRS, you truly need to place a large order to justify the cost of shipping and break it down over several items to make it cost effective.

I discovered ReefSupplies while looking for bulk GFO. I love the site, and Ray is awesome to deal with. I ordered my ATI Sunpower and bulbs through him and I couldn't be happier with the service and the price.

I'll definitely be giving the bulk additives a shot and see how they work in my tank. Too bad about the magnesium though, looks like I'll still have to source that south of the border until they get their version figured out.
