Lowes in Woburn had Preston Driveway Heat the other week but I didn't look to see how much.

FWIW I posted because Mag flake is one of the hardest additives/driveway melts to find. It's good for Mg supplement when mixed with epsom salts

wait let me get this strait you guys dose your tanks with driveway melt and epsom salt?

Yes always did, always had great growth and no issues. I was worried I wouldn't be able to find it this time around....

Thanks for the concern. It passed away. I tried to save her in a container with water movement and moved her to different levels in the tank with no luck.
Will be picking up a few Orange caps from Frank and maybe a xenia.

If you need it Agway in Danvers has MagFlake, Calcium Chloride, and Mrs Wages pickling lime. If you are looking for the pickling lime you might want to call first, they only had one left. It was being brought up from there Waltham store. The owner Dan a great guy, and worth the trip, very good prices.
