I would go buy some Aragonite at your LFS (a 30 lb bag cost less than $20). I think this will stabalize your tank much quicker. There is more surface area and smaller pieces of shells, which has the same mineral content that makes up limestone (CaCO3). Limestone is made of fossil shells/foraminefera which are too made from CaCO3 and silica.
I use Holey rock and Aragonite in my tank. The Holey rock gives Mbuna many places to hide and is quite beautiful but a little expensive ($2-4/lb).
My tank has a stable pH of ~8.4.
