I am looking for a local (drug store, hardware store) source for 2 fertilizers

Calcium Sulfate

and

potassium nitrate

I dose my tank with Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom salt), and for potassium (edit) Phosphate i use Fleet Enema, it would be nice to just be able to pop into the grocery, drug, hardware store and get the two above substances.

Calcium Sulfate = gypsum, sold at plant nurseries and garden centers around here as a soil amendment. Cheap, heavy, probably more in a bag than you want

Potassium nitrate sold at garden centers as "stump killer" Not all stump killer is potassium nitrate, need to read the label.
