Calcium and Carbon are part's of it's environment..?If it has been established in the plant or nutes You can always pull a sample of soil or whatever they are in and keep the bacteria alive..Last but not least I'm sure there is a phone number on that set somewhere..

I'm not sure what you have, but I am using an organic source of calcium and magnesium in the form of carbonates. Mine are derived from rocks. Carbonates are acidic salt.

An example of a bicarbonate would be baking soda

The majority of the calcium carbonate is mined as a mineral as it is quite common , by definition it's a organic compound becouse of the C molcule within the compound , being yours is for a fish tank it may have gone thru purifaction/sanitation process that may alter the ''organic'' label

carbonate compounds can be bolth acid, and base

sodium carbonate /sodium bicarbonate /potasium bicarbonate, are actually all on the basic side
