Lowman Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I was in the super Walmart today and they just recieved a new shipment of pickling lime. It's $2.65 per jar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siskiou Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Yes, they got new lime in at the Eugene Walmart, too! I've stocked up for a year or so. I wonder how many people actually buy this for pickling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Pickling lime? I've never heard of this.. All the pickling my family ever did was with vinegar or a vinegar mix. ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbrownies Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 Lime is used to give the pickles more crisp longer, its good stuff, and cheap to use as kalkwasser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsoz Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I've stocked up for a year or so. How much is "a year or so" in terms of containers of lime? I know it depends on a lot of factors, tank size, animals that use Calcium, etc. I bought one bottle, in anticipation of starting to dose calk. Should I get more? Are we talking bottles, or cases... I have a 45g, lightly stocked with new coral frags. 7 SPS (acro and monti frags), 1 FS (4 heads), 1 candy-cane (1 head, starting to make a second mouth), 2 small stalks of pulsing xenia, less than 100 zoa polyps, a golfball size GSP, and some shrooms. I will be getting a rose BTA in the next month or so. I know that the softies and anemone don't use much (if any) calcium, but the stoney corals do. I have only used the lime to nuke some apstasia that came in on some frags that I got from a LFS. It seems to be working, I have not seen the ones that I have pasted come back (yet).

impur Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I picked some up from the one on green acres dsoz - its 2 teaspoons per gallon. So figure how much your tank evaps a day and adjust from there. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/issues/nov2002/chem.htm http://www.animalnetwork.com/fish2/aqfm/1999/aug/bio/default.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
