You cant work against equilibrium. What every you do will be temporary, it will only raise pH for some time until it drops back to the equilibrium point which is set by the amount of CO2 the tank is in contact with. If you try to chase pH with buffering agents, I guarantee that you will run alk issues in the future (or like bertoni said, you will have no idea how much of your total alk is made up of bicarbonate ).
If you really want to raise pH, think connecting an airline from outside to the skimmer air intake or think about using a CO2 scrubber before the skimmer air intake.
