I use GaryP's method's excusively with great success. I add 120cc's of buffer (washing soda/baking sode recipe) and 60cc's of calium (dow flake recipe).
I'm not suggesting that this is the correct dose for your tank, as stated before no 2 tanks will be the same, but I did want to point out that I tested daily for roughly 3 weeks before I found the right numbers. I did it very slowly as instructed by Gary and have never seen a cloud of new sandEverything in the tank is looking great and I'm seeing new growth everywhere. I tried Kalk but was unhappy with the whole process so I decided to give this a try and so far I couldnt be happier.
