Domolite lime and other lost arts...

Hi,

Colour ?

Well, my only fear is that it may contain a form of oxide like rust. If domolite is 58/38 calcium carbonate/magnesium carbonate and it is fairly white. Why does 95-98% calcium carbonate looks so...ivory. I don't know...I thought you would know [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] I guess it points out that as pure as arganite is, there is still some foreign compounds in there.

What's the difference between lawn and a coral ? Well, really they are both sensitive to chemicals and petro products. They both need fertilizer (i.e. trace elements). If you have cyanide in the lime, they will kill both the coral and the lawn (and the trees). Domolite lime isn't some stuff that you arbitrarily get from a mining shaft, there are standards since they are also use to grow fruits and vegetables. So, there is a certain quality level...pretty close to fit for human consumption.

In the early 90s, keeping SPS was like playing russian roulette. Only thing was that you knew that there were five bullets in a gun that could carry six. That didn't stop people from trying...at $75-$100 a pop. Today, we have beautiful tanks that have only SPS. Without those pioneers...we would avoid SPS like flowerpots. Without trying, I'll never know if I could succeed.

But, I will get my test kit at J&L tomorrow. Hopefully, it is in stock. I will keep you posted.
