Hi all,

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? | |

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. | |

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. | |

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 | |
