what brand? if its kent then it sounds like a deal, marinedepot.com about $17 a little over a pound. (kents) Just be wise when you pic ebay sellers.

I just got a spoof email other day, NEVER respond to emails out of your email account always use "my messages" in your "myebay" I got lucky sent ebay a email they responded in less than 5 min

Im not sure, Def wait till you get a good opinion from someone who has used the product (Kalkwasser)

go to Aquarium supplies for your tropical fish tank, saltwater fish tank, saltwater aquarium fish, freshwater aquarium fish & reef aquarium. Aquarium filters, aquarium lighting, aquarium tanks, protein skimmers & more for your reef tank. and use "search" for it.

I'm currently using seachem. I've got some IV drip bags. I use two at a time and fill them once or twice a day. You can easily adjust the drip rate. I also have a 135 gal tank, so the rate at which my kalk goes in isn't as crucial as with smaller tanks.
