1.85 + 5 shipping and you can add as many orders as you want. Haven't seen this around so cal.

You should check w/golfish. He probably got rid of his stash, but he had like 50lb bags of the food grade stuff (calcium something, I forgot the name of it) for like $20.00.

Any types of pickling lime that shouldn't be used for reefs?

I've used $100's of lime from the LFS, about 10# of Mrs. Wages and maybe 25# of the stuff I got from Golfish.

LFS stuff... very little dark stuff at the bottom of the bucket

Mrs. Wages... Overall darker in color and leaves some dark residue along with what precipitated out with CO2.

Golfish 50# bags... Even darker than Mrs. Wages but less dark residue at the bottom of the bucket.

I'd use any of them again without hesitation.

I guess if I could get enough people together I might, maybe, doubt it, could get another pallet. If I do, its going to be forty 50 pound bags. I wouldn't even consider it unless they were all sold before I brought home the pallet..

Mark,
If I hadn't started you-know-what and stopped the limewater I could use some more. I still have about 1-1/2 bags left.

I'd be willing to go for a bag or 2. I hope you get enough people, retail kalk is too expensive.

 

[JAGreef]

I'd go for 2 or 3 bags ....

 

[golfish]

I'll see what I can do..

 

[bergzy]

kewl,

let me know when you are going to arrange it. i am down for one bag!

 

[GTR]

Mark...
I'd be good for two more... I might start using it again.
If you don't want to keep it at the house again you can drop some at my shop in SB, I've got plenty of room.

I'll talk to my boss and see if I can swing it. Its probably going to take a few months to get it.

 

[gcarroll]

Mark. Put me down for 3 bags.
