Brand of Kalkwasser

[dreeves]

What brand of Kalkwasser does everyone use?

 

[beaslbob]

I dont use kalkwasser. But isn't pickling lime the same stuff?

 

[dreeves]

Yes it is...but I would think it isn't as pure or refined...

 

[xrayman]

I use kents,but i have used ms.wages and had no problems

 

[bang guy]

I use agricultural Hydrated Lime. I don't recommend it for the average hobbiest though.

Thanks all...
Bang Guy...why do you not recommend this for average aquarist?

 

[dburr]

Yes it is...but I would think it isn't as pure or refined...
The marine stuff is 99.9% and pickling lime is 99.5%.
Pretty close.

I'm using Kent's kalk mix until it's used up and then will be using Ball's pickling lime.
