darkangel Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 I was reading those recipes, Just my opinion but calcium chloride is a very corrosive addmixture used to accelerate the set time of concrete. After working with the stuff for a number of years and seeing what it do'es to my hands even with gloves, I'm not to sure that I would want to be adding it to my tank. At a 2% calcium chloride to water ratio it will eat through 3/8 rebar inside of 3 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
