    Sure, 8665 Harbach. It is behind Barr Bike on 86th and Harbach in Clive. The building has the letters DFM and MAPCON on the side.

    Joel Google dr foster and smith coupon code you will find the direct link to it. I have seen it and used it in the past, for some reason just using the code won't work you have to click the link. Hope that helps!

    Joel - no I don't have a phosphate reactor.  I was planning to put it in a media bag and either 1) directly in my sump or 2) I have a set-up in my sump that I used for a nitrate remover product - empty 2 liter bottle with holes cut in the bottom and fed by a small Rio pump - 40-60gph.  The phosphate is in a media bag with a piece of filter sponge on top and bottom.
    For use with a media bag, not a phosphate reactor, do you think it would be better getting the GFO pellets from Bulk Reef supply?  That was actually my first idea.

    The order shipped so it will arrive at my house Saturday or Monday which means I will have it in Des Moines Monday or Tuesday.

    The other items from DFS did not arrive Saturday. So unless you are willing to stop by my office twice you may want to wait until Tuesday to pickup the salt. Hmmm but that means I have to keep 6 pails of salt in my car, luckily gas prices are down. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/laugh.gif

    All 6 pails of salt are in my car in Clive. I am hoping someone comes to get their salt as I don't want to look like a low rider going home. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/blush.gif

    Hey Joel, I picked up the salt bucket and the crushed coral last night but I didn't get the reef sand. Did it arrive with the latest DFS shipment?
    (I am actually hoping it didn't arrive because I don't need anymore sand)

    With the election stuff going on tonight, I think I'll just pick my remaining stuff up later in the week, whichever day will work best for you.
