You will use a pH Up product available from many grow or garden shops. If you do not have any grow shops in the area then check regular gardening shops. It is recommended that it is best to use one intended for gardening and not for aquariums.

Probably depends on what is used. If they are a naturally occurring mineral then I think they would be allowed.

Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3), also called baking soda, is a crystalline salt, found in a natural mineral form in nahcolite deposits. Now-a-days a process is used to extract and make enough to supply what society needs.

There might be some Baking Soda (not Baking Powder) in the fridge or on a shelf in the kitchen. You could consider using that until you find something in grow and gardening shops.

General Hydroponics has pH Up in both a liquid and powder, Advanced Nutrients is a liquid and so is the pH Up from Dyna-Gro. Check them out to see if they contain a natural mineral or compound. Should help get by until something else is found.
