Where Can I Get Bicarbonate Soda?

[Easy]

I'm fish less cycling and my ph is getting down to 6.5 so I wanna raise it. Where can I get bicarbonate soda? I heard baking soda is not the same and all I can find is baking soda.

Bicarbonate of soda, baking soda, baking powder........NaHCO3 .....all one and the same

Thanks. Actually after a little more research I found out yes baking soda is the same as bicarbonate soda but baking powder is not the same, it is baking soda with several other ingredients. Anyway I have a box of good old Arm & Hammer..here goes nothing I hope this doesn't destroy my filter.

What fish are you preparing for? The bicarb is going to buffer the pH, but you might need to be adding something else to actually shift it.
