Dry Ferts?


I know about the KNO3, KS204, stuff like that from Rex Grigg. But today I was just browsing through ebay and I cane across this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Live-Aquarium-Aq...3A1|240%3A1318

Would this be the same as Rex Grigg's ferts? Should I get them or Grigg's?

interesting but they don't give enough info, so I'd stay away. It's a premix.

Not sure what's going on with rex but best to order from here.

that looks like miracle grow if you ask me

i would be safe and order griggs since who knows what the blue stuff REALLY is. and you can dose EI with griggs so theres no measuring and testing.

Ok thanks guys. I think I'm just going to order from Rex since he seems to be the man for ferts.

Plus aquariumfertilizer doesn't have the ones that I want/need.

Rex Grigg: www.rexgrigg.com; there's a link to his store on his main page.

www.aquariumfertilizer.com used to be run by a guy named Greg Watson but a guy named Alan runs it now.

I ordered some ferts from aquariumfertilizer.com and a bag was blue. They had a note explaining why and if you are still interested I will look as soon as I get a chance.

Oh and if that is your company in your sig then I just want to give you a nod. I place a small order from you and it arrived quickly. So thanks.

ok for those interested in the blue fertilizer.
written on the package:"Yes, your mono potassium phosphate is blue. There is a worldwide shortage of MKP. We were able to find this MKP which was intended to be used as a Foliar Spray. To make MKP into a foliar spray they simply add a blue food coloring. It is harmless to plants and fish, and is only visible in high concentrations."
