Homemade Kalkwasser

I already ordered some of that pickling line online through Polk's link.

Also if you follow that recepie given in the link and you add the stuff too fast to your tank it makes the water turn so cloudy white you can't see into the tank and the next day everything looks like it has been snowed on. I want to cry every time I see my tank now. :(

I had an old jar of Kent and just followed their recomended dosing and dosed (dripped through IV style hose) into my sump overnight.

Is Ball's "Pickling Salt" completely different? I looked at HEB this evening. this can of pickling salt (2.5 lbs) about $2 and just says 100% pure. Ingredients: salt.

That's not lime, right?

[JEREMY78247]

no its not lime, but it looks just like it, HEB hardly ever has the pickling lime. They'll probably start getting it now and on into the summer months (it's seasonal).

I've looked before and seen nothing, since I would have thought this *is* the pickling season, I'd check again and found this which hadn't been there before. I guess I should figure it'd say lime and not salt if it were.

Pickling season is mid to late summer.
