Thanks Toad Fish, I think we are through the worst of our initial setup troubleshooting and started stocking a lot more heavily in the past couple months.  Glad you've noticed!  Keep coming in and looking for more we got a ton of great palys in on Wednesday.

I'd be happy to sell you some bulk at $0.35 a gram.  I would not be able to provide an official dosing recommendations it would just come in a clear fish bag.  I'd recommend this resource http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2013/2/fishbut it sounds like you may already have an idea of how you want to dose it so just throwing it out there.  We have plenty in stock.
