Paul, I searched high and low all over the springs a few months ago and ended up buying a case online. It was about 40 bucks shipped to my door. I can spare a bottle or 2 if you are in a pinch.

try Albertson's up in Briargate or King Soopers on Woodmen. Also, Wal-Mart (Briargate) carries it.

thanx, Cliff.

Duece, I am good for now, I ran out and CoReefer hooked me up. I just don't know how many others are in the same boat. Thanks for the offer though.

Same here Murf, ordered a case for my Dad, lots to spare if you get in a pinch or anyone else locally gets in a pinch just let me know. :)

Murf, is there a reason you prefer lime over other additives? I'm using the home-made 2-part B-ionic recipe (Excel ice melt and baking soda from Sam's). Man, this stuff really works. My alk and Ca levels are amazing after just a couple of capfuls over 2 days. I just transferred from my 120 to my 125 a month ago and I'm already scraping 1/8" chunks of red coralline off the glass. I'm going to wait a week and see what the levels drop to before adding again.

Murf if you want to do the home made B-ionic I can hook ya up with Dow Flake just let me know

my calcium levels are high enough just based on the crushed coral i have mixed into the substrate. the only thing i need to add for is the alkalinity, that is why i just dose kalk
