Sale on alk/ calcium /mag

[amado]

I found this sale shopping for some 2part.
At that price I picked up a few bottle of alk and calcium. I usually use esv but this is so much cheaper I purchased a bunch let’s see how good it is. $4 for alk and $4 for calcium $7 magnesium. that’s a good deal. The Strontium is also priced well if your tank needs it.

Thank you! I was going to buy from BRS today since I am almost out of alk. Ordered 4- alk and 4- calcium. I don't use much of Mg

I got the big boys 34oz and they are now sold out on that size. The other sizes are still available

Yeah I did the same. I was going to spend $40
On esv 2part. This was double the amount for the same price. With free delivery so let’s see.
At the rate that I am dosing this should last me a few months.

So I am currently dosing 40ml of alk and cal a day.
The 38oz is 1,000 so each bottle is about 25 days so I got about 6 months worth.

Well I guess I will be ordering from BRS! Just got a phone call from Premium Aquatics on my order. They are completely sold out, and he needs to make a few phone calls to let customers know their orders are a no go. Hope you two get it.

Oh no that’s horrible. Let’s see if they can work something out with you.

He didn't offer after I said how disappointed I am and am in need of Alk and Ca since I am low

I’ve got you all beat! Go the DIY route, and you’ll be rolling in all the dough you save.

I had been telling people that I spent 5 - 10 bucks a year to dose my tank, using mendacious mathematics (some people call this branch of mathematics statistics). However, with now having 15 years since I purchased the 50 lb bag of calcium chloride, and the alk I pick up at Sam’s Club, I can more accurately calculate that I spend less than $3 a year to dose alk and calc in my 90 DT. How do you like that for being cheap!

Nice. But we aren't all chemist Paul......LOL
I don't trust myself in the measuring.

 

[MadReefer]

So far no calls or emails. Fingers crossed.

Just kidding around Paul. I have done the ALK using baking soda it was easy.
What is your calcium recipe? Randy Holmes?

Here’s what I’m using for Calcium if your interested. 2 cups of Prestone Driveway heat purchased from Lowe’s to a gallon of water. This is from Randy’s 2 part. Been doing for a year

I worry about buying the wrong one. Why I never bothered to try.

 

[Yates273]

I was the same way but this is what I’m using
Calcium chloride. I know it’s not food grade but this has been working for me

+1 on Paul's suggestion, I've followed Paul's DIY 2 parts recipe on my previous setups for a long time with no complaints until I got into Calcium Reactors.
I highly recommend it.

So buy that and follow Randy Holmes recipe?
