Where do you buy your kalkwasser from?

[elegant_reefer]

I want to start dosing and want to know where everyone buys their kalk from.

I found this - Aquarium Grade Kalkwasser / Calcium Hydroxide / Lime - eBay (item 140438248062 end time Mar-06-11 21:46:31 PST)

I get it from BRS.

On a side note can you imagine customs opening up that package....lol

Hahahahaha good thing it isn't international.

I saw the kalk on BRS, but $11 for shipping is meh.

I just get the Brightwell Kalk from my local LFS. If you have any LFS close I'd check there first. I'm honestly not sure how much of a difference there is between brands.

I usually go with the Two Little Fishies brand in the bucket size... pretty pure and lasts me a long time. I usually do some quick poking around online for it... heard good things about the Brightwell stuff, but can't speak from experience.

Kalk rules... unless found in small quantities in your pocket by local PD... takes a good deal of convincing.

+3 I buy it in bulk at greatly reduced prices after the canning season is over. Also check you local Ace hardware or any store that carries canning supplies.

That stupid store that every woman likes!!!!! I can't stand that place I'm MADD before I get in the

I used to run Mrs. Wages but for some reason, it would leave a lot of sediment behind. I bought some BRS kalk and it mixes up very nicely!

No Wal-Mart where I live.

I think I'm gonna give the eBay kalk (no ho-mo) a try.

BRS, ordered 2X annually with other supplies to eliminate shipping - usually through a group buy.
