Dowflake?
Looking for dowflake locally(Nassau).
Any one see it lately? |
Jim,
Not Nassau but I know where Magflake is, if it is the same. Bohemia just off Sunrise. LMK & I will post it again if needed. |
Ok just read that Dowflake is NOT safe for aquarium use.They added something to deter against it.
What are people using these days? |
Are you looking for calcium chloride or magnesium chloride?
|
Calcium chloride
|
Can't help you with the calcium sorry. I've been buying it from BRS. Wish i new where to find it locally also. Please let us know if you find a clean bulk source locally. I'll do the same.
|
For those interested in experimenting, Lowes in medford is carring 9lb juggs of prestone calcium chloride ice melt and 50lb bags of C-force calcium chloride ice melt.
Use the search function in the chemistry section of RC to familiarise yourself with alternative calcium chloride products. I can tell you from experience, don't use the ice melt with the dye in it. |
The HD has the 50lb bags of C force also and it doesn't list ingrediants or state 100% calcium chloride....I don't trust it so I wouldn't use it.

Chemical Properties Chemical Formula CaCl2 Form A white odorless granule Assay 83 % to 85% by weight Calcium chloride Bulk Density Approx. 55 lbs per cubic ft. PH 6.5 to 10.0 Typical Analysis Calcium Chloride > 74% Alkali Chlorides (as Nacl) < 2.0% Total Magnesium (as MgCl2) < 0.1% Other Impurities (not H 20) < 1.0% Iron (Fe) < 15ppm |
I don't know the msds on any of the products sold to the aquarium trade so i have nothing to compare them to.
