Anyone have some good "every day" places to buy the commonly needed salts?
CaC03 (Chalk) - - can I grind up plain old white blackboard chalk? It must have some fillers in it... maybe nothing that is harmful?
CaSO4 (Gypsum) - - This is common and should be cheap... but where to find food-grade? I know I can't just grind up drywall... it has other nasties in it too.
CaCl2 - - Are there common uses for this chemical that make it available?
MgSO4 (Epsom Salt) - Easy to find in most pharmacies.
What about food grade HCl or Lactic acid to adjust residual alkalinity?
