Mrs. Wages Pickling lime

[bmkj02]

Where do you get it?? I live in the Tampa Bay area in Florida. I have go to Albertsons, Publix and Wal-Mart looking for this and no one has it. Where do you get it? What section? Which canned food section cause there are more than one section with canned food.
Someone also posted before using lime powder in the home and garden section for growing vegatables and fruits. I found a huge bag of that in HD. They say its the same thing and reading on it, it looks like the same ingredients.
Anyone?

I picked up some at publix.
Its not the canned food section, it the canning section. Where they sell canning jars and jelly mixes to make your own.

It's in most all grocery stores around here, on the isle with jars, canning lids, spices, etc.

Just picked up two bags from Wally-world. It's not the food section, but over in the housewares, with the canning/jars/etc as mentioned.

At my local grocery bottles of it are where the spice section is...........Seems like a strange place to put the stuff.
It sometimes is not there. It is a seasonal item for the store I go to. (Small chain) This time of year it is there. They do not restock it when they run out till next years canning season. I have looked but never found it at our local "Wally's world" stores, and there are three of them near by.........

Worst case you could buy it online.

Had to buy online as no stores around me have this stuff. Bought 6 bags at once to get it over and done for a while. How much you wanna bet I will see it in the store next time I go?

Making limewater.
Limewater can be dripped into a reef tank to help maintain Calcium and Alkalinity levels.

It's all I dose for calcium and alk in both of my tanks -- keeps calcium around 420ish and everythign stays stable.
Keep everything from sps to clams to whatever and great cheap alternative to 2-part.
