KH powder - what is it?

[shell42]

Got me some KH powder cause the KH in my tank is 0 and needs to be higher, Is KH powder and bicarb soda the same thing... I mean it looks and tastes and I suspect works the same way... am I paying money for a cheap baking ingredient?

[ILLUSN]

KH powder is sodium carbonate/bicarbonate
