Chicken grit need bulk.. where?

[workindog]

Hello, im making a project that requires lotsssss of chicken grit (its going to be used in a diy koi pond filter) i can get it locally at tractor supply but that means id need like 16-20 bags of it (the 25 lb bags) plus a couple to set aside for my chickies lol

Is there anywhere online that sells 50 lbs at a cheaper price with cheap or HOPEFULLY free shipping? I've definitely found some 50 lbs that seems very reasonable but the shipping is what kills!

Go to the granite yard nearest you.
Why not use scrubby pads? They offer a huge amount of surface area for the bacteria to colonize. That is what I used for my homemade Skippy Filter.

Hi I will definitely look into a granite yard, hopefully we have one around. I have used the scrubby pads for a smaller filter for my 110g stock tank so that is a good idea that works but this is for a different kind of filter. Im making 2 55g s&g (sand and gravel) filters for my 2200g pond that im making. These 2 barrels will handle the mechanical and I made a bakki shower for the bio. Need realllllly good filtration for koi. They're like chickens in a way, always hungry and they think their piggies lol
