There has got to be a way. I just did a quick Google search and it can be done. I found a formula but it's for 500 gallons. You may be able to adjust it down to the size needed. I'll keep googling see what I can find.

I read that you shouldn't use it as it's sodium bicarbonate and that will leave sodium which can block nutrient uptake or affect it. Hope that helps.

add more tap water, will up ph. Tap water is usually between 7-10ph.
It is safe at least.

some nutes and additives drop ph but then it rises again after. Just give it an hour and test again.
This - whatever water you are using just let it sit out in a bucket for 1/2 a day. The pH will gradually rise over time. It's better than adding chemicals.

Try and pH test just the tap water after several hours of letting it sit out.
You should see a major change.
