Interestingly enough, I had already ordered a pound of food grade calcium carbonate (ground limestone) to use as a DIY KZ Coral Snow replacement. I am not concerned about any negative chemistry affects from adding it, after a bit of reading it sounds pretty harmless. I will let you guys know if that has any noticeable impact on my Cu levels.I'd think that carbonate would work better that bicarb. It's pretty easy to get carbonate out of bicarb though.
Im wondering if @Randy Holmes-Farley or any other chemistry experts on here have any thoughts about it.
Theoretically it should work, but a reef tank complicates the chemistry and would want to be sure that none of the formed salts are toxic or harmful.
