I use Unbaked Baking Soda, which is sodium bicarbonate, to raise my alk but I'm told that corals really need calcium carbonate. Typical alk tests don't really measure the bicarbonate directly. Is using baking soda on a regular basis, instead of calcium carbonate, possibly detrimental to corals in the log run? Should I spend money on a calcium carbonate additive?
I'm also wondering if the reason I have seen very little coralline growth in the last year is becuase my alk is mostly sodium carbonate --possible?
