Part 2: Ca and Mg group buy

[Reefugee]

There were a few people who PM'ed me stating that they were interested in joining in the Ca and Mg group buy. Unfortunately - we have already hit our full bags mark, so the group buy was closed. However, if there are still enough interest, I can add on more Ca or Mg. To be honest - I don't know if we will generate enough interest, but it's worth a shot. If we get close to the 50lb or 80lb mark, I may consider even purchasing more and keeping it on hand.

The terms and condition are the same as the original group buy.

I'll take 10 and 10. Just need 7 more!

I can certainly wait until the next group buy, though, since I will not be needing this anytime soon. What is the shelf life for this stuff?

Minh, count me in for 10 & 15. Thanks for doing a second order. Hopefully it pans out. PM me about paypal. Thanks.

Mark.

Mihn,

I can do another 5lbs of the magflake

 

[Reefugee]

Bump... If I can get enough interest, I can pick up the extra on Friday.

Mihn,

I'll take 10 and 10 also. When can I send payment?

I'll be leaving for a short vacation early tomorrow morning. So, if it's okay, I'll just send you my payment tonight.

PLMK.

 

[Reefugee]

Jeff - don't send any payment. I want to see if there are enough people interested to justify buying more.

Bored - in the original group buy, you were purchasing 10lb of CaCl2 and 5 lbs of MgCl2? Is this in addition to the original order or were you planning on replacing the original order?

If Bored is purchasing addition Ca/MG, then we need another 5 lbs of calcium and another 25lb of MgCl2 to complete this order. Anyone interested in CaCl2 or MgCl2?

When kept in a well sealed container that prevents exposure to air or moisture the shelf life for both calcium and magnesium chlorides is a long long time. When exposed to air they will first hydrate (absorb enough water to form a solution). Over time if they are continually exposed they will absorb carbon dioxide from the air to form calcium and magnesium carbonates which will no longer easily dissolve in sea water.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize I made it into the original GB. This is not in addition to the original order. I won't need any more than ordered in the orginial GB list.

Thanks! That is what I wanted to know.

There doesn't seem to be enough interest for me to pick up another bag of Ca and Mg. Sorry.
