reef calcium chalk?

[ryan_lalande]

i was looking for cheaper methods to add calcium to a reef.

chalk is 100 percent calcium. would this calcium not be the same as the calcium we add?
also tums is 100 percent calcium. wouldnt that work?
also can you buy the cement calcium that they use in cement?

i know this sounds rediculous, but i think it would be interesting to know.

what other calcium products could be used.

i don't think it gets much cheaper than buying a big ol' bag of pickling lime.
