FW Bio Spira Shortage - No More Bio Spira For 6 Months

http://www.fishgeeks.com/index.php?n...859&star t=60

"Marineland will NOT be releasing any more Freshwater Bio-spira until
probably some time in Sept.!!! I am cutting off any further orders of
FW Bio-spira as well. I will be filling those orders taken to date but
no more until Marineland opens it back up.

The Salt Bio-spira is continuing as normal and, in fact, will have a
1oz package out sometime the first week of April!

The concept of putting out an "open shelf stock" version of Bio-spira
was cancelled (as we figured) because it was generally agreed and
admitted that non-refrigerated shelf-life does deteriorate too
quickly.

The whole reasoning from Marineland goes like this:

The demand has completely "outstripped" their capability to
re-generate enough growth of the bacteria to meet demands..... and
they would have continued difficulty meeting orders. Their thinking is
to use all the bacteria growth throughout the summer to build a
sufficient back-stock to once again re-release the product with enough
on hand to fully meet demands."

"Currently Marineland has placed a HOLD on shipments of Freshwater
Bio-Spira in order to build sufficient levels to meet the unexpected
demands for this product. Therefore, we have suspended shipments of FW
Bio-spira and can no longer accept orders for it until shipments
resume. Shipments are expected to resume by late summer. We apologize
for any inconveniences."

I'd like to produce a product, that was so good, it had to be held back in
order to meet demand...

Yeah, I'd feel pretty good about that....

Wow. Maybe I'd better hit the local stores to grab some last stock - I
was hoping to set up several ten gallons sometime this summer to do a
real test of Bio-Spira. Gonna be hard to test without any product!

In the mean time, I'm taking offers for the crap that settles to
the bottom of my tank and gets trapped in the filter. Maybe I should
put it up on eBay. :^)
