Hey guys, anyone know who can supply Ca and 2 part Mg additives in SE Suburbs.

Looking for someone I could PU locally from as postage seems to be the killer (given you order stuff by the Kg).

I seem to remember someone telling me Reeflections stocks these, maybe give them a call?

a further drive but deer park usually has food grade CaCl2 and MgCl2/Hex

I've got heaps, could post through work but they'd think I was running a drug lab!

Hmm - where Bouts do you work @Sam Parker - maybe a lunchtime drive for me...

 

[macca_75]

Does this MDS look about right.

Looking specifically at Magnesium Chloride

Only $10 for postage of 5kg

Just throwing this out there, but I go up to Geelong regularly for work - I don't get much notice though and I['m often running to a timeline - and my workmate lives in Norlane. So I could pick it up for you if we work out how and when and I wouldn't mind getting some myself as well if that works for you and Sam

I'm in waurn ponds, have about 20kg of alk, cal, each part of mag and potassium left. Let me know how much of each you want and I'll bag it up. I'll look up what it cost me, but it was stuff all and I'll only charge what it cost me per kilo.

More than happy to meet during the day and can do so with short notice (especially if I have the amount pre-bagged)

Cheers!
Sam

Thanks for the offer @Sam Parker - as always you're prepared to go out of your way. We have found a supplier a bit more local (as thus easier ;-) )

Thanks again

 

[Buddy]

Who did you find @macca_75

PM Sent @Buddy - just not sure if he wants to be tagged publically here or not.

Cheers

No worries, let me know if you get stuck at all!

Potassium is a little more unusual and only needs a tiny amount (I put two teaspoons into a litre of RODI and dose 25ml a day into a near 1000l tank!) so if you need any of that I can post it easy as ;)

I got given some Veterinary grade Sodium Bicarbonate and Magnesium Sulphate, huge buckets. Made by a place in Dandenong called CattleKare. Could be worth a shot maybe they sell the rest of the bits. It looks like good stuff.
