I guess a lot of folks who use Kalkwasser have found that Pickling Lime is the exact same thing at a fraction of the cost.
Only problem is that it appears to be available seasonally in most places.
I found this link here on RC to Mrs. Wages Pickling Lime. http://store.yahoo.com/mrswages/mrswagpiclim.html (http://http://store.yahoo.com/mrswages/mrswagpiclim.html)
I've never used it, but $1.83 per pound is cheaper than the major aquarium type brands.
Interesting stuff. Anyone have any experience with this?
Just curious.

Hey Brian,

I've never used the stuff only because I'm too lazy to deal with it. The two part additives are just too easy! You're right though. Kalkwasser IS Lime water. I'm pretty sure that there is no difference between what is sold to hobbiests as kalkwasser, and pickling lime.
