DIY Ferts in Canada

Mad Medic · 07-28-2009, 06:51 PM

Hi all, anyone point me to a good source for dry /bulk /DIY ferts in Canada? Looking for the most cost effective method of maintaining my new set up (100gal display, 30gal sump.) We can't ship from the States as far as I'm aware.

I believe greenleafaquarium.com and aquariumfertilizer.com ships to Canada. I just ordered some dry fertz from aquariumfertilizer, the shipping is less. It may differ if you ordered b/c you live in Canada.

I would try emailing that aquariumplants.com... They do alot of business to Canada so they might have something your looking for and they seem to be expanding into Canada might be worth a look! Im in ontario myself so thats the site I am going to use religously once i get my tank up and ready to go!

hydroponic store for sure. Try "better than nature".
I get mine at their Winnipeg store, but they have one in Vernon and one in Kelowna. They don't list them on their web site, but they carry them. It will cost you about $28CDN for full NPK and Micro startup. As already posted search for PMDD and PPS/PPS Pro recipes for your mixes.

In Canada ferts are fairly unrestricted, so you can just drop by a chemical supply store and pick something up whenever. Better Than Nature in Kelowna is good, so if you're near one of their locations then that isn't a bad direction to head in. Their ferts are probably about the same price as you'd pay online if you consider shipping costs vs. picking it up yourself.

Aquariumfertilizer.com wouldn't ship to Canada when I checked a few days ago, though I didn't look at settings in detail. I'm in Idaho right now so that wasn't my concern. Anyone know if this is a recent change?
