Tums definately contain sugar. If you need CaCO3 in a hurry you can buy
pure CaCO3 tablets or caplets in bottles at the drug store. It is not
expensive. I crush the tablets and mix them with some tank water and add
the resulting "slurry"/"suspension" whatever, to the tank. 2 large caplets
= about 1 teaspoon.
