Is it Possible to Make Quicklime at Home?

[Guy]

Hi Randy,

Great article on Lime! I've been using it forever and yet I still learned a few things.

Question: How hot & how long do I need to bake my Southdown Sand to make Quicklime?

Hotter than a normal oven. About 825 deg C :)

Hotter than my Kiln :(

Thank you for the quick response!

You're welcome.

Happy reefing. :)
