Cheap, Good Quality Calcium Chloride

[Beverly]

Randy at RC has just completed a article comparing Dow Flake Calcium Chloride 77-80% and several commercial reef products:

The 12 page thread on the subject is here:

Locally, it is available throught Univar Canada under a slightly different name, Calcium Chloride 77%. Here is their MSDS page on the product:

This product is $17 per 20kg, though I don't know if shipping charges are included. Even if there are extra shipping charges, who cares? The product is useful and really freaking cheap!

I would like to order a bag for myself and am wondering who else out there would like to do the same. There is one problem in ordering the product. Univar will not sell to individuals, only to companies. Is there someone in Edmonton who has a company who could supply a purchase order and payment for our order?

BTW, I have contact numbers in both Calgary and Edmonton. There must also be an office in Vancouver.

Let's get some of this stuff for even happier and cheaper reefing
