Making Kalkwasser in Canada
hey guys. finally got my tank up and running with some fish too. its looking great, thanks to the fully cured LR i was able to get from a reefer up island.... so my question is this, where can i buy pickling lime for making kalkwasser up here? i know on the american boards they all talk about how easy it is to pick up down there but i went to superstore and couldnt find a thing. any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

I've never used or looked for the pickling lime but you can buy kalk powder from J&L and probably other fish stores as well and it is not very expensive.
I have a large bucket half full that if I was closer I would give you since I don't need it anymore as I am able to maintain all my levels with my calcium reactor. |
hey thanks. i havent looked into the prices at the LFS, just figured they would be up there compared to a grocery store or something. but i will check it out. thanks

Pickling Lime is not available in Canada. I can't remember the reason though... :rolleyes:

how about domolite lime? :mrgreen:

Compared to bulk food grade calcium hydroxide, the aquarium packaged equivalent is not cheap - especially if you are running a larger tank. Ive used both and cannot tell the difference in 'performance'.
So if you can find it I say use it. As stated pickling lime is not readily available in Canada but some people manage to find sources. Ocean Aquatics sells it: https://www.oceanaquatics.com/view_p...AEPicklingLime |
