Publix I believe stopped carrying it, ask your produce manager to look it up. I ended up ordering a case direct from them.

Ask Rogger, he was the last person to post about a publix near him carring it.

 

[derrell]

does it make a difference what brand it is?

 

[jessp]

nope ball pickling lime is good also, as long as i can go to a store in Miami and buy it.

Roger's Publix is in Weston and I believe they carry it because he requested.

Hey Jess this weekend I will be in the Weston area.....if they have some available would you like for me to get you some?

 

[jessp]

heck yeah, I really just want to make some kalk paste to kill some aiptasia. don't go out of your way by any means though. If you stop in the publix and they have it pick it up. No special trip needed though.

Jess, check the super walmart in florida city at the canning section. There was some stock available about three months ago.

If anyone needs, I got like 8 of them. Forgot what I paid on them.

Went to Wally world and checked and they had about 3 packages of pickling lime. They were about $2.69 i think each. Not in grocery section but in housewares where they keep the ball glass jars.

Still a rooke here, can any one inform why we need this lime thing?

Bernie, one of the most important benefits of adding limewater to your tank is that it maintains calcium and keeps your PH stable. Since I started using limewater in my tank a few years ago, I've seen significant improvement in coral health and growth.

Read this article, it explains a lot.

Do you add it even when you test for it and all is well?

Once you get your calcium levels to where you want them, you dose limewater at night. Then I test at least once a week to see if everything is ok. The reason for dosing at night is because limewater has a really high PH and can significantly raise your PH in your tank if you do it during the day. At night, your PH is at it's lowest so your tank will maintain at it's proper PH.
