I heard about this product from a YouTuber and thought let's try it out because I was curing a trough with live rock. Also the YouTuber stated that he had heard it helped a marine aquarist with cyanobacteria and I thought interesting, considering I was battling an outbreak of cyano on my 90 gal. So I treated all my systems, my 65gal reef with corals and fish, my 90gal fish only(large fish), and my live rock trough. The cyano disappeared, on my 65 gal it affected how often I had to clean the aquarium glass which means it reduced organics. None of my fish(clowns & tangs) were affected as well as corals(LPS & SPS), even my rose bubble-tip anemones didn't have a problem. I recommend this product for anyone, but always be cautious with anything that you are adding to your tank.
NOTE: To this day I still dose this product when I notice my organics are creeping up.
Live Rock Enhance is ideal for Reef aquariums, Fish only aquariums, with or without live rock.

Live Rock Enhance Directions
Storage: Live Rock Enhance is a live culture so we recommend when not in use to store in a cool dry place. For best results keep refrigerated.
Initial dose: Add one scoop per 25 gallons in area of high circulation every other day for the first week. For smaller tanks (10-15 gallons use half scoop). For larger systems use one teaspoon per 100 gallons. For optimal results add to a few ounces of aquarium water in a separate container and let sit for 20-30 minutes making sure to stir about every ten minutes to ensure best hatch rate and pour into aquarium. Repeat dose every week until the desired results are achieved. Maintain adequate aeration and water circulation.
Refugium’s: Compute the volume of the refugium and the aquarium it is supporting. Proportionally add the required amount of Live Rock Enhance to both the main aquarium and the refugium separately.
Curing Live Rock: Dose daily until ammonia level is zero, and the water is clear. Curing is further enhanced by aeration, use of a Protein Skimmer, and changing water when it clouds. In early stages of curing, cloudy water is normal. Replace dose whenever water is changed. Oxygen becomes more soluble as water temperature and salinity decreases; therefore, curing is faster and easier at lower temperatures and salinities. We suggest while curing to try to keep water at about 72° – 73° f and 1.020 – 1.021 specific gravity.
Seeding Live Rock and base rock: Follow initial dosing recommendations.
Ingredients: Cultures of proprietary microbes, including Bacillus subtillis, Bacillus licheniformis, and attendant enzymes. Botanical extracts to aid adhesion. Approximately 7 billion cfu/g.
Treats approximately 2000 gallons

i was battling a long half year war with algae and tried this product i would say after every other product on market.algae was getting under control before i used this to be fair.after a Month and half of just using this product alone, i noticed that my live rock has lost the algae coverage that formed more than a year back.i am not 100% sure if it was the passage of time or this product but i would like to give the powder the credit!
Terrible Product - DO NOT BUY Apr 4, 2019
I’m leaving this review in hopes that it will help other aquarists before they make the same mistake I did. I purchased this product believing it would do what the company stated it would do. Instead, I ended up with two dead clownfish and another that is very sick. I used the product in both of my tanks. I tested water parameters before and after use. My nitrates were less than 5 and I’ve never had issues with water quality previously. After using this product, my nitrates spiked to well over 100 and I then lost two previously healthy clownfish. Same issue in my other tank. I now have one clownfish who is having labored breathing and will not eat. If I could give this product zero stars, I would have. I’m incredibly disappointed in myself that I trusted this company and in doing so put my entire tank at risk. Please don’t make the same mistake.
