[mickey57]

..MR Randy Farley,I did get your response at Reef-central.I just wanted to see if anyone here has heard of or tried the stuff 8)
......Hi all,
.....Looking for a cheaper way to keep my calcium up.I have 3 reef tanks and it is mighty expensive.I found the POOL TIME;Calcium Hardness Increaser at my local Home-depo.No analysis on the 7 pound bottle of granules.I did taste on though....burnt the hell out of my tounge,with the quickness.All that is on the bottle,about calcium is in the Hazard warning:Contains calcium chloride.No analysis on the web site.No contact email or number to call.From what I gleened from the web site is it is made in Australia.Just wondering if any one has tried to use it?

.........I found out the MSD on this Pool Time product.I am waiting on the email now,Hotmail is screwed up again,but I did get them to tell me orally.Calcium chloride,75-97%;potasium chloride,2-3%;Sodium chloride,1-2%;Stronium,0-1%;Water,0-7%:
...I do have a question about the water content......how could you have 0%?? Oh yeah.I just ran a few test and I got;Calcium,400ppm and a KH of 14.Should I start dripping the lime water now?or get the cal up to about 460???then use the pickling lime and backing soda?????
