I know hey!!

Lots of group buys happening lately. Though I would also be willing to bet that prices will be directed buy the population of hobbiest

I read some reviews online and have decided to give Aquaforest Phosphate minus a try. It supposedly looks and performs similar to Rowaphos, but is less than half the price. I'll let everyone know how it goes! Only about $30 on Amazon for 1 L, vs. $68 for Rowaphos for the same amount.

For those of you who either tried out the AF or switched complete, what are your thoughts?

Also, where do you buy AF Amino Mix and AF Build in Canada? I can't see them on Amazon.ca

I only use the salt and one thing that is of extreme convenience is that I don't have to plan a day ahead to mix the water. Whenever I feel like changing water, I mix the salt for 15mins and all ready for the tank.

I just started the NP Pro Bio S today (only bottle I have so far). Yesterday I did a water change wih the last of my H2Ocean so it was 50/50 H2Ocean and Aquaforest Probiotic Reef Salt. We'll see how it goes...

On the other hand, the bucket arrived broken and was leaking some salt. Hopefully that doesn't affect the probiotic properties. I think i read that the probiotics aren't activated until they hit water though.

Hi5! Mine arrived broken too. And got 10% discount from Amazon for that. If you bought it from Amazon, you should chat with them, easy discount

Yah the bacteria are in dormant state so shouldn't have any effect.

Did anyone get the little bottle of NP Pro in their bucket of salt? If you're not using it, I'd like to buy it from you! It's not available for sale on Amazon.ca yet. Please PM me!

But Amazon's ecommerce platform is closing, supposedly in July 2016. They've been transitioning to Shopify, which if I understand it, works entirely differently. Anyone know if this is still happening? Here is one of the articles about it:
