Help with Dowflake/Peladow

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone out there willing to help a fellow reefer? I need to get hold of a 50lb bag of Dowflake/Peladow as we don't have it down here.

I fanyone out there who's kind enough to purchase it for me and ship it to me, i will be much obliged. Of course i will pay for everything, inclusive of some "loose change".

Anyone?

 

I'm suprised that you can't buy it. It's just calcium chloride. Here's a web site and tele-

Raven,
Thanks for the link and i've even got a reply from them. They DON'T deliver outside of the US. Aargh, and the business is going global.

Anyone who can help?

 

Forgive my intrusion but, is this for your aquarium? Are you sure you dont want calcium hydroxide? http://www.canningpantry.com/pickling-lime-case.html Just curious...

 

Here's a few other sites-

Here's an interesting article on making your own calcium supplement and reef buffer-

diver,
oh yes, but it's the same problem again. we don't have those kinds of pickling lime here. we have different brands which i am not too sure of its quality for reef aquarium usage.

raven,
thanks for the links. and it is randy's formula that i am trying to use which turns back to the supply of those dowflake.

i really wish someone out there could help me out with the shipment. of course, i will pay whatever the necessary costs. in advance of course. i figure i can trust someone in the same hobby, and in the same forum not to run away with my money.

maybe i'll have to look at some other alternatives then.

btw, thanks diver & raven.

 

if i can find it here in town i'll be glad to ship it to you.
where does it need to be shipped to so i can check on shipping costs for a 50lb bag.

 

raven,
you're my saviour...it needs to be shipped to kuala lumpur, malaysia. pls advise the costs incurred (all the costs, inclusive of breakfast). we'll then arrange for funds transfer.

 

oops, and i forgot...how silly of me. an absolute karma for you...wishing i could give more.

 

Thanks for the karma Bob. Don't call me your savior just yet. I'll do some checking around town here to see if I can find dowflake or peladow. Which do you prefer? I think peladow are CaCl2 pellets
