Ultimate Aquatics.
they've just brought a new version which is even better than the R version.
Theres an old thread on here from about a month or so ago discussing the various types.Personally I've tried the newer stuff and it did seem to work as well, if not better than there nearest rival.

Aa. News to me if they have Blacktip,my apologies.
Not sure if its any use to you but I tried to find out their source for the stuff and (as per previous thread) it seems Phos removers are a bi-product.The stuff is used primerily in the water industry to remove arsenic. Its especially important in Germany,Cornwall and Scotland where the water utilities have a significant arsenic content in the water supply.
it appears Uda at UA brings the stuff in by the bucket full and then distibutes it.
I understand that the only real difference in his and his main competitors is price.The stuff is produced by the ton in Germany and everyone uses the same supplier.
I might be wrong but if you can find someone who runs the local water treatment works,they might laugh at the price we have to pay for a kilo when they have it stored in sacks...
