Columbus builders supply in grandview. About $15 for 50lbs

Don't know where magnesium is located. I've bought that from bulk reef, but it's expensive.

Yes, randy's 2 part works great

your local on profile says Cinci, isn't buckeye field supply a close source?

They have the stuff but what they will do for shipping is a big question. I had heard that they had a draconian no pickup policy.

yeah, brs is local just looking for a cheaper supplement.

hard to find calcium chloride or magnesium....

the dow flake must be older, from what i hear!!

Wal mart carries a morton brand ice melt that is straight calcium chloride just like the pela dow...I used it and worked great....came in a 9 pound container I believe..back in the car section when I found it. Only like 7 bucks

I suspect you won't have any luck finding old Dowflake, and that you'll have a hard time telling if its old or not...

well I asked at cora but I will ask here...

However I have found that I may have access to alot (100+lbs) of it for a very small fee.

The catch Its been sitting for a several years (up to 10) unused in the original 50 lb bags. Inside my husbands work, They no longer use it at all.

Is it any good? should I even bother?

If it's dry, then I bet it's fine
You may want to post in the Chemistry forum to get a true confirm

I would also think that as long as it has stayed dry, it is still good. And I'd be up for a bag or two
