I went to the USA this summer and picked up a whole swack load of Balls Pickling Lime.
They are 1lb (454grams) containers so same size as the large Kent containers.
I don't need them anylonger as I got my reactor going.

I will sell them for $5.50 per container.

I think I have 12 for sale.

cheers

Hey Jon! I need one and I'm sure Dez needs one also! And I think my friend needs one too. Can you hold on to 3 of them and I'll get Dez to pick it up next time he's in Calgary. I'll post tomorrow after I ask everybody!

Me again! Just a quick question. How big is the 1 lb container? I may need more! I'm going to be building a kalk reactor and I wanna have enough to last me a couple years. Dez doesn't want any but my friend wants some fore sure. We are still down for 3 but maybe more. Also Dez said he's not going to Calgary anytime soon, so I guess I have to make a day trip down to Cowtown soon. A calgary fish tour day trip! Should be fun. May need a tour guide! :)

Well.....If you get a chance to go to a store and see a Kent Kalkwasser container,,,,the large 1lb size then that would give you a perfect estimate.

I have Tony down for 2
3 for Simon.

So there are aprox 7 left.

Better yet click on the URL and look almost to the bottom of the page and you will see a pic of a container of balls on top of an IO salt bucket.

Canadian Man,

You might want to keep some for yourself. Depending on your tank, Ca reactors can drag the pH very low. So, some reefers dose kalk and run a Ca reactor at the same time.

Thanks Victor.
Yea I think your right.
I was keeping 1 for myself but that sure wont last too long.
So

I will say they are pretty much all sold. Unless someone really needs them.
