KH2PO4, KNO3, and K2SO4 for sale.

[Rex Grigg]

In case anyone has missed it I'm breaking down some bulk KNO3 (potassium nitrate), K2SO4 (potassium sulfate), and KH2PO4 (Mono potassium phosphate). The KNO3 and K2SO4 will each run $1.50 a lb with a 2 lb minimum on the K2SO4 and one pound minimum on the KNO3, each order must be at least two pounds to make the shipping work for you. Shipping will be added on a straight across basis. The KH2PO4 will be sold in 2 ounce packages and will cost $1.

Just a little help here, you will use more K2SO4 than anything else. KNO3 use will be low to moderate, the KH2PO4 use is low. Two ounces will make a lot of stock solution. Here's the example.

1 tablespoon of KH2PO4 in 500 ml of water, one ml of this solution will give you 0.53 ppm of PO4 in 10 gallons of water. So you can see that a little bit goes a long way.

Ok, the shipping on this is going to be weird. I can fit at most 3-4 lbs of the K2SO4 in a flat rate envelope. That would be a shipping cost of $3.95. If I were to ship 6 lbs via normal Priority Mail it would run $12.30 from Portland OR to say Gulfport MS. It would run $11.49 for Parcel Post.

So I have decided I will ship all the stuff in PM flat rate envelopes. I will put three pounds of KNO3 in each one (or less depending on the order) and ship it that way. It seems to be the cheapest. So if you wanted 10 lbs it would run you $11.85 for shipping and $15.00 for the product. I think this is the easiest and cheapest way to get the shipping done. I will get figures on the KNO3 tomorrow.

So if you want you can write me a check or get a money order and mail it to me at:

Rex Grigg
PO Box 14103
Portland OR 97293-0103

Be sure to include your shipping address and how much of each you want. Also be sure to either reply to one of the messages here, or email me (best!) or pm me to let me know.

If you want 5 lbs of product then figure $7.90 for shipping (3.95 X 2) + $7.50 for the product (1.50 X 5) for a total cost of $15.40 The max ship weight per envelope will be just over 3 lbs. If you want 7 pounds I can split it into two envelopes. If you want 10 I can fit it into 3 envelopes. If you have questions then please ask.

Rex, is the cost of the KNO3 the same ?

Thanks

[Rex Grigg]

Yes it will be. I was told it was the same price and I said it would be. But when I picked it up today it was a little higher. But nothing to worry about. It is however prilled. Which means it has been formed into very small hard balls. So to dose it safely the best thing to do is remove some tank water, add the prill, wait about 10 minutes for it to dissolve and then add it to the tank. Or you can make a stock solution with it.

[Rex Grigg]

Still have some left if anyone is interested.

[Rex Grigg]

The first orders are going out tonight. Man the clerk at the PO is going to hate me.

[GulfCoastAquarian]

Sent out my Money Order yesterday. That clerk should love you rather than hate you. The USPS's business has declined for many reasons and they should be happy for the business!

Hey Rexx.. just read this thought of you. It wasn't your shipment was it?

[Doomer]

Oh no.

Hurry up and answer Rex so we know you're not in jail.

[Rex Grigg]

I have a job you know. I don't sit in front of the computer all day. I have to go out and deliver mail. I hope it was not my shipment. It should not have been from what I heard. And I don't think my stuff goes though the Tacoma plant.

[GulfCoastAquarian]

Haha, I actually thought of you first when I saw this on the news.

[Doomer]

The white stuff arrived today. Thanks a bunch Rex, I appreciate it.

[Rex Grigg]

No problem. Did you get all the packages?

[Doomer]

I haven't opened them yet but there are 4 of them. The mailman managed to cram all 4 of them in the mailbox. I had a heck of a time getting them out in one piece. Guess he was too lazy to bring them to the door.

I also had packages in the mail, but only partial shipment.
