Calcium Choride @Randy Holmes

[wcharon]

Hi to all...

I need some advise. I have been using Randy Holmes 2 part receipt for a long time with great success on my mixed reef. I have been using Arm Hammer Baking Soda with BRS Calcium but the shipping cost i am getting from BRS is higher than the same Calcium which for me it is not acceptable.

What Calcium are you guys using at this moment that i can get from Walmart, Amazon, etc that is less expensive?

Thanks in advance...

Look for a local source for anhydrous calcium chloride.

Maybe try swimming pool calcium hardness increaser (calcium chloride).

I found this on Amazon. Can someone suggest if it is the same quality?

That is certainly a suitable product.

Thanks outsider but that is the problem i have with BRS which i have always used. Their shipping to PR has changed and now they are charging more on the shipping than the item.

I didn't see the "Puerto Rico"....well ….I'd look around more because I think you're getting pounded on the price....:hmm5:

[wcharon]

That's correct. I am looking on Amazon and Ebay to see if i can find something. I will like to stay with BRS but DAMN that's to high on shipping....
