That product has a review that states there is a  California  lead warning on the label? The review went on to say it is a 100 times the minimum threshold for lead. I will contact the manufacture for a response. Sometime reviews are incorrect.

@azwildbill
That review was brought up in the past.
Click here to see the discussion back then.

I had a hard time finding chelated iron and ended up buying online.

GrowMore Iron Chelate

If there was a local source I'd be very interested as well.

Comment by Azwildbill on February 3, 2014 at 4:38pm

I am looking for a source for chelated iron.  Preferably EDDHA or DTPA  in the valley. http://theaquaponicsource.com/2013/08/15/iron-in-aquaponics/  Has a nice article about iron deficiency and I am looking for this iron supplement for the high ph of the valley of the sun. Sold locally.  I want to support the valley economy.

I contacted Star Milling and found a distributor in Mesa Arizona.  Mesa Feed Barn

240 E. Broadway, mesa az 480-969-9704.  $38.00 per bag 50 lb bag Tilapia food..  They will order it for you.  They don't keep in stock and they need 3-5 business days for it to come in.

I buy my tilapia food from The Western Ranchman.
It's made by Star Milling and costs around $35 for a 50 lb bag.

Comment by David Schwinghamer on February 1, 2014 at 1:55pm

Its been over a year, where's a good place to buy some tilapia food like a 50 pound bag?
