Should be able to pick it up at just about any hardware store, building supply store or home center, such as Lowes, True Value or Home Depot. Look in the gardening supplies.
Not sure that Dolomite is a good thing to use, in a Calcium Reactor though.... I'd suggest posting this in the Chemistry forum. You'll get great information on if Dolomite is appropriate for a Calcium Reactor, why it might not be, and if it is, you'll get great leads on where to buy it. I believe Dolomite is typically a terrestrial substance and may have some heavy metals associated with it, including gold even... http://www.galleries.com/minerals/ca...e/dolomite.htm |
