That HD on 23rd street seems to be more of a home remodel/fixin it type place. They didn't seem to have alot of the things that the other HD have so I'm not sure if they're going to carry it. I know they had a very small plant section so there was no room for South Down play sand. some what disappointed in it as I was hoping it would be more like the store in LIC so I don't have to make a trip over the bridge if I needed something.

Anyone in NYC looking to pick up Calcium Chloride Flakes for the 2 part formular, Odd Job or Amazing Saving as their called now, has DartCo 77 which is an 8lb container for $3.99. It's 77%-80% Calcium Chloride and is actually DowFlake but is repackaged by DartCo Seasonal Produces.

I have 2 50lb bags of the Big Everest 100% CaCl (12.95 ea.)- freaking stuff is potent and my stuff has been growing out of control - I do have a little RTN on a piece or two, but have been low on iodine and the spot where it's bleaching is touching a rock which may have had another coral underneath it - will keep you all posted

From the articles the 90%-100% Cal flakes are just like Turbo Calcium and you need to adjust the formula for that.

From a # of posts on RC the 90%-100% Cal flakes are sold under a # of different names from Peladow to Prestone Driveway heat to probably a couple other brand names. It's probably the same product just re-packaged with different brand name.

I'm almost out of Bionic so I'm going to try and make the 2-part and would like to get the higher % brand, and I'll by checking HD this weekend, otherwise I'll use the DartCo 77 brand I picked up.

i used a simple water bottle (500ml) of
vitamin water, drilled two holes, hooked up a iv drip set into one and a smaller tube in the other (hooked the smaller one up to a penplax pump)
done...switch bottles every day
