Looks like somebody else has a Kalk connection

I just saw this flashing up top a few minutes ago

FWIW, this is the same stuff I got last year.

So I can just buy that ms.wages picklime lime stuff, throw it in a jar slap on a super 818 kalkwasser sticker on it, and say you will get awesome pink and purple coraline, tube worms, and it will raise your Ca. Marketing gimmick?!

I still kick myself for not doing that years ago. I've been using Mississippi lime for 7+ years. I'd be rich right now selling 1 gal jars of Ms Golfish's Kalk plus @t 10.00 a jar.

I've always said there we're no standards on the kalk sold at your LFS.

Even worse I can't charge 100.00 for a 50 pound bag like I planned..:lol: I have a feeling nobody in So Cal is going to need Kalk for a while after last years 2000 pound flood.

yeah i got the leftovers on that order and i still have enough to make a few bodies disappear (the wire, HBO, Season 4)

twopart does look like a decently priced source for the non-socal community though who dont want to have a big sack of a not-so-kid-safe-looks-like-powdered-sugar-so-it-MUST-taste-good powder sitting around.

I just bought some magflake and dowflake from them...much easier than trying to track them down in our area.

As far as kalk, the bag I got from the group buy should last me to about the year 2020!

I bought a 50# bag of CaCl2 about two years ago and I'm fearfully running low. Only have maybe 5# remaining.

I think I paid $40.00 door to door for Dow Flake and that's my plan for next time around.

lol...what is it they say about hindsight? Most people don't need or have a place to store 50 lbs of kalk.....but those 1 gallon jars would be juuuuust right!

:lol: I guess that's what I get for being too nice...I remember the first time I brought a bag home. I took it over to Larry's frag swap. ( I'm thinking it was in 2001)...I put the bag out in the street in a trash can with a cup and a box of zip lock baggies so people could help themselfs...Nobody wanted to deal with it cause its so messy.

Hmmm...dealing white powder in zip lock bags in the street. Sounds fishy to me!

I'll show my appreciation and have another Coke®.



Really, thanks. It's saved me a lot.
