Live rock

[obewan9043]

I have about 50lb of live rock in a 75g tank. I would like to add supplement to help the live rock. Anybody knows which is good. Thanks.

For LR I assume you want to grow coraline algae. Then you need calcium. There are many different type of supplements available. You also need to make sure your alkalinity stays up. If you let it fall then your calcium is not as effective.
Kent makes pretty good product. I recently switched to B-Ionic and I love it. I have seen such a difference with my coral it is not funny.
I hope this helps!
Also, Welcome to the board.

Hey,
I also use Kents. Currently I am using Kents ProBuffer dKH and Kents liquid calcium. Just follow the directions on the bottles.
I haven't heard anything bad about this product and it works for me. I've also heard that the B-ionic mentioned here works well.
Take care,
Dan'l

you can go to your LFS and look at the stuff yourself.... if you can read you can then know what you need or ask for help there!!!

I agree that you can go read at you LFS, but sometimes there are just way too many products and so much confusing advertising. Every product claims to be good, some don't even make sense. obewan9043 is just asking for help and telling him to go elsewhere is not why we are here... anyway, the ones I use are from Red Sea. They have a lot and there are many things that contribute to a healthy tank.
I don't know of any specific formulas that help live rock though. I think you can do fine without them.
