That’s what I what I was looking for.
I can recommend
Taiko activated clays
Taiko omega 1G
it s H2so4 activated and has a ph of 4.2
it s like T41 but without any carbon
It s my clay of choice for diamond end products
the clay once primed with fresh solvent is self filtering and doesn t need a DE or celite bed

check the crc thread someone had a pallet of b80 outta ca recently
I’m curious about the effectiveness of this as well.
Considering what this stuff is DO NOT place that order. 50lbs for $850… for one of the most abundant forms of silica on the planet.
The reason thats listed as being so expensive is because its a soluble form of silica, so its being sold as a specialty plant nutrient.

@ScoobyDoobie Exactly
As far as plant nutrient costs go, this is way cheaper than using bottled silica…

And Defenatly a lot cheaper
