It's different for different brands. Should say on the side of the package and will depend on your chemistry out of the tap.
Here's the most common DIY recipe. It will buffer and increase hardness.

+1 Seachem has it on 1 level tsp for every 10-20 US gallons.. if you are using Seachem, 45 gallons will be about 2 1/2 tsp..

You can use lace rock, crushed coral, or African cichlid sand to buffer the ph for you. No additives needed.
I use Saechem American Cichlid Salt in my new world tanks. Works great.

I got some live rock that is supposed to be good since I made a lot of caves and it is supposed to help the ph. I really wish I had thought about using sand before I got the tank up.

It isn't hard to switch out from gravel to sand. I did it in my 180 a year ago without even removing the fish from the tank.
It's never too late.

Is it hard to do and does it stress the fish a lot?
