They show the picture of the GFO beside a quarter, but that's a stock pic that a lot of places use. I'm wanting to get some larger pellet sizes so if anyone has tried this brand can you comment on the pellet size?

I haven't heard of that brand, but someone might be able to comment.

It is bulk GFO offered by Salty Supply, hence the name Salty's, I guess. Looks like regular old granular GFO offered by numerous aquatic suppliers. As long as it is the granular type, I would buy what gives the best price per pound. Not much difference between one type of granular ferric oxide vs another, IMO, not including the high capacity type offered by BRS.

Posted this a couple times, but the best price on a quantity I have found is here below. $9.16 a pound when you buy 25#. For comparison, BRS bulk granular GFO is $13/lb, and that is at the preferred reefer price when you buy 20#. $14/lb normal price.
