Between the resurfacing of the BBQ debate, and yours and Amanda's fight over Rocks torches, the cat fight memes are about to come out in full force!

I will send a pic you what I use and what was recommended by Randy Holmes and numerous others over on his Chemistry forum.
The urea looks like pellets, it should be a fine, granulated power almost like sugar.
You want ammonium BICARBONATE, not chloride
and sodium phosphate, not diphosphate.

You can use what you have for plant fertilizer as that's what you have is used for, except the Dr. Tims. I think it was mentioned to not use ammonium chloride unless for cycling a tank due to the chloride messes with either the calcium levels or the alk... I can't remember which
Ahhh I should have kept reading. You had this covered sir!
 
Good morning John!

Good morning my friend! What in God's name are you trying to communicate to us here?
:)
 
Maybe some sort of a code like how you call 911 and order a pizza if your being kidnapped or something? !
Someone has taken Bobby!
 
You need Ammonium Bicarbonate, not chloride Steve. Im pretty sure that's not the correct P04 product as well.
Ya. Rock told me. I was able to cancel one and the other is in request to cancel limbo. I ordered the bicarbonate. Rock thought the urea would be ok but not the last in the list I ordered dipotassium it needed to straight potassium phosphate.

I think Russia hacked my Internet. Phone is sooooooo slow right now. On any and all websites I try to access.

And yes, I unplugged it and plugged it back in. Restarted, kicked it through a window, shook it, used a bigger hammer...

Pandora isn't missing or skipping but all websites are taking minutes to load. As in multiple. If they load at all.
