make sure you stop over at the house so you can see what type of pickling lime that i have. So you know what it looks like. its green and its called MRS WAGES pickling lime ..

lets see some pictures of the tank and sump then ..

When you start to use it u use 1-2 tablespoons per gallon of water ,
Let it set and use the clear liquid and start a drip 1-2 drips per sec.

Lots of people are using toward there evaporation use if you evaporate 2 gallons per day then you use 2 gallons of kalk and water and drip it.

Remember it has to be dripped to the tank slowly.

And its Fresh RO water you use to mix the Kalk / Pickling Lime.

ok, so to start a drip, i can just use a plastic jar or something, drill a hole near the bottom (in the side of it) put some airline tubing in it, then a little ballvalve and thats it right??? and also, i remember what it looks like Mike, and i wont be able to come there anyway because right after school i work, then we are leaving bright and early!
