Hi, can anyone suggest where to get this stuff in Australia, particularly W.A. ? I tried an agricultural supplies(westfarmers) at one branch he said it was now banned.

Any ideas?

thanks......

Hi,
I've had the same experience looking for potassium Nitrate and keep hitting brick walls. PM eureka red. He told me of a new "flourish" product that will add nitrate to the water but I can't remember the name of it right now...doh.
Cheers, James

i saw that thread , and i found the website(not allowed to be posted on here tho) the product is seachem flourish nitrogen. Ive emailed this sites online store they will be getting some seachem stuff in soon. Its expensive at $10.50 for 100mls, so if anyone tracks down the raw chemical in Australia please let us know?


thanks...

I don't think you will find raw Potassium Nitrate for sale anymore, it is the primary ingredient of gunpowder and many types of bombs.

Hey All,
I can get a bag of pure potassium nitrate in a 25kg bag for $120.00 but the problem is that this is going to last me years i think we should organise somthing between us and go fourths in a bag which will work out very cheap and will last us a while, we could post it
cheers eureka red
