RE: Calcium Carbonate

Kathy,

Have you tried the swimming pool supply places?  They often supply calcium
salts in bulk to reduce leaching of the concrete.  Anything sold now a days,
that comes into long-term contact with people is usually pure enough to eat.

Hi,

I know in the past we have gotten our Calcium carbonate for our African 
Rift Lake Cichlids from All World Scientific.  Has anyone discovered 
another source to find calcium/mag to harden water??  I know we have the 
stuff at the fish stores, but I wanted something cheaper than that!!
