Do you mean Chem 101?
 Add baking soda according to this article. http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-02/rhf/index.php make sure you calculate your tank volume to determine how much is required to raise your alk about 3dKH. I suggest you increase 1 dKH daily over three days to minimize shock/change for your corals.

yes it will help stabalize the pH only if you add it gradually. if not, it will create a spike before stabalization
