Thanks Matt!
This is from firstrays.com:

Refill the bucket with clear water, and add about a teaspoon per gallon each of calcium nitrate and magnesium sulfate (Epsom Salts). Similar to the process of a water softener, the Ca and Mg ions substitute for the less desirable soluble minerals in the pellets.

...I wasn't able to find calcium nitrate, I'm hoping someone can tell me where to get this stuff.
