Add anions and cations as nutrients, as well as simple chemical element symbols #387

Carbonated water has a table of anions and cations (mg/L). Sometimes it's in the form of "Mg²⁺", sometimes just "Magnesium". I guess it's OK to enter it as "Magnesium" (like "Sodium" is included in "Salt"), but "Mg²⁺" is not translated.

Maybe add a link to a page discussing how to enter different things.
