Calcium Hydroxide Source In Canada

[new2reefing]

Hey All,
Im just in the finalizing stages of setting up my gravity fed fuge and ATO, and am getting to the point of balancing my cal/alk and adding kalkwasser.

I have heard there are certain places you can get calcium hydroxide or pickling lime locally.
So far the only place I've found is alphachem
http://alphachem.ca/products-c-2/
Aparently its $30 for 2KG, and $70 for 25KG.

I'm going to be looking into that more but figured I'd ask what you all are using.
Thanks,

I've been using hydrated lime from home hardware for little over a year.

$14 for 6kg's

Not as concentrated, so more byproducts. Which means you'll need to clean your reservoir more often. I clean mine every week.
