I added the two part solution in this morning and the whole tank is cloudy and had allot of white flakes (Ca is percipitating). Now the tank is cleared up but all of the rocks are covered with white flaky substance. What should I do?

you need to add it slowly, dripping it over many hours is best IMO. i would also add the Ca part one day and the Alk the next
