    Hi everyone!,
    I brough a large tub off rowaphos on ebay but when it arrive i thought it was different from the 1st load i got from my lfs. I could have sworn it was a black DRY crystals but the tub i got off ebay was all soggy & wet. Now i might be wrong so dose anyone else use this product & if so is it wet or dry when you open the tub?!

    Thanks k

    Hey Kiarah , did you check and find out why they where banned?

    ifs its overly wet? could they be re packaging and selling used product?
    wont do any harm, but wont do any good either if its been exhuasted?

    just a little concern, thats all, hope Im way of track here
