Before you go to your LFS, see if you can find some pickling lime at your local grocery store. It's going to be much cheaper (The Walmart near me sells 16 oz of Mrs. Wages for 2 or 3 dollars), and it's essentially the same thing. Randy Holmes has an article in the Reef Chemistry forum called "What Your Grandmother Never told you about Lime". . .or something about a grandmother. Probably not necessary reading for what you're doing, but it is a good article.
