The main downside to using coral chips is that it's not easy to control how much it raises the GH and KH. At just about any health-food store, you can buy a very large container of calcium carbonate powder very cheap. It dissolves very easily, and lets you add exactly the amount you desire.

I use the little jars that Petco sells to sprinkle on your lizards food. I 've a 2.5 oz. jar for over a year that's still more than half full - but I don't need much. |
