Apparently Dow manufactured CaCl is now high in Bromine and thus unsuitable for reef use. Popular products impacted are Dowflake and Prestone Driveway Heat.

Tetra chemicals have a few options available that may be suitable as replacements for mixing up Part 1 solution, perhaps a few of us can go in on a 50lb bag.

...anybody have a used Ca Reactor and CO2 system that they want to sell me?

lol. I am so glad I got the 50lb box a few months ago. I should be set for the next 2+ years.

Although, I am courious what will happen now that there is a market nitch for 2 part checmicals. I am sure somebody will see the value and come up with something. Dow and their low price have been a big factor in others carrying / making it availible to the aquatic market.
