Re: [APD] lime water disinfecting plants

["S. Hieber" <shieber at yahoo_com>]

I don't recall the contents of Lime-it and I don't have a
copy of the Material Safety Data Sheet on my home computer
-- The MSDS states the concentration of the packaged
contents.

If no one else has one handy to post figures, then you can
try to find a box in a lfs and see what the box says, or
write to Aquatronics, Inc to email you the MSDS.
