I'm curious about what people are paying for LR online at various stores?
After reading the article Alan pointed out I've realized where adding to much baking:washing soda (CaCO2:CaCo)buffer can hurt you. When My alk problem was happening I did notice that some of the aragonite was hardening into a brittle or crystalized surface. This surface attracts Ca and Mg out of the water which expaines my low Ca levels.
I finally got my LR and even though I've only used it twice my livestock looks much healthier than before.
