    Oh I beg to differ but yes there is a huge difference about 10.00 a jar 1/4lb (kalkwasser German for Limewater) 14.00
    a 1lb jar of hydrated lime aka pickeling lime ( Amercian for Limewater }is 3.50 or so..

    So now that I have this kalwasser paste covering my anthelia...

    am I suppose to just forget about it now? or am I suppose to remove it at some point?

    Does it matter?

    I assume it will leach calcium into the system, is that right?

    Just leave it be. Unless you used a ton of it, it shouldn't affect your calcium levels. I would run fresh carbon if you have it though to get out whatever the anthellia may have released during the massacre.

    OK, great! I did think of that at least. I have fresh carbon running.


    I used a scoop of the powder to make the paste. A scoop being the scoop that you find in, say, a gatorade powder mix tub or a protein powder can. Of that, I used about half of the paste.

    Not sure what constitutes a ton in this scenario... hoping that's not too much.

    I appreciate your following support on the thread amcarrig (everyone else too)!

    Nah, a scoop is hardly what I would consider a ton. You should be fine.
