I order as much as I can afford at the time. You'll use it eventually.

Pretty much what he said. Initially you'll need 40 TBSP of GFO per Bulks Reefs directions. Once your tank has gotten used to the lower nutrient levels you can increase that to 80 TBSP. So yeah, get as large a container as you can afford.
