*[[Potassium carbonate]] (K<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub>) A known food additive. This adds carbonate, without raising raising [[pH]] in isolation (See [[Potassium carbonate]] for more on potential changes to [[pH]]. The [[potassium]] is a bonus if you have a planted aquarium. | *[[Potassium carbonate]] (K<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub>) A known food additive.
