Mrs. Wages Pickling Lime has multiple ingredients now

Stopped at walmart to buy some Mrs. Wages Pickling Lime. Read the ingredients and has at least five ingredients listed including citrus acid. This is concerning is this what everyone is using? Not sure I want to put that in my tank?

Are you sure you didn't look at the ms wages for dill pickles or one of the other flavors instead of the original? I just got a couple bags a couple days ago

Mrs Wages makes other pickling mixes besides pickling lime so as mentioned could be something else you were looking at. According to their website Mrs Wages Pickling Lime is "Food grade calcium hydroxide with no additives or preservatives".

about 6mo ago I ordered BRS Kalk and I am betting it will last me 3yrs at 1tbls per week. No reason to mess with Ms Wages and Walmart.

Mrs. Wiggles is needed for an experiment built a CO2 Scrubber. No way I'm putting the good stuff in a bubbling caldron!
