Is there a natural way to raise tank alkalinity

I added a mesh bag with a half cup a week ago and today I am pleased to see that tank has remained at exactly 7.0, which matches my tap water. The GH and KH have increased some as well, though still in the soft range. I'm giving myself a while to decide if I want to increase the amount of crushed coral or hold tight and test again in a few days. I'm not certain I would like adding it to my substrate until I am absolutely sure of the amount I want. -- Mister Gardener
