That will both raise and buffer your pH, to prevent it from going down. Also, I believe that adding shells (real ones, as they are also carbonate-based) to your tank as decoraration will do the same thing, but on a smaller scale. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
