Kalkwasser

[DaReefer16]

Hi. I've been using Kalkwasser in my 120-gallon mixed reef. First I was using Reef Blueprint Isol8:Ca(OH)2 1000g - Kalkwasser, and when I tried to reorder it wasn't in stock. I switched to Coralme Kalkwasser. now It's time to reorder and I'd like to know the goto brand most reefers are using now with fairly stable results?

I like Mrs. Wage's Pickling Lime. Cheap, consistently available, and works well for me.

I went with my favorite 2 Part brand, E.S.V. because I feel they have really good quality control.

I’m currently using ESV, but will be switching over to BRS. I have heard good things about BRS being consistent on the long ran. I was going to try Reef Blueprint, but it was too hard to get a hold of mainly being out of stock.

I had the same issue with Reef Blueprint and it had a weird odor.

Brs is probably the best option

Dunno how much you use. The cheapest is Mississippi pickling lime.

If your using 2 part, i have calcium chloride in 50 pound 7 gallon buckets for $45. I can do smaller qualities as well. Also have Kalk at $3. a pound, 5 pound minimum.

I got my pickling lime from bulkfoods.com, works good and is food grade. Like 14 bucks for 5lb bag.
