Dowflake

Post by Suziq21 »

Anybody here know how to get some? I went to the local Pinch A Penny Pool store and they didn't have it. I'm trying to find an online vendor, but would rather find someone local.

Pensacola Pools has it. Here is a link to one of Randy Holmes-Farley's articles that has a bunch of links at the bottom on where to find all the 2 part ingredients.

Also call into local Lowe's and Home Depot, because they will often have CaCl as deicer or in the pool section for raising GH. Same goes for Magflake if you ever need that.

This is where I ordered mine, couldn't find locally here on MS coast. Great people to deal with at Buckeye. HTH

I called HD and they didn't carry it. Pensacola Pools had it though! $15 for 25lb bag!

We just received new pallets of Dow and Mag so we should be able to supply all of the western world for another 6 months...

Didn't they change the Magflake somehow? I read somewhere that they can't recommend it to be used in reef tanks anymore, I think it was on Randy's links page,but haven't seen any more on it. Have you heard anything about it?

There was something some time back about them not guaranteeing the content for reef purposes - so nothing really new there...
