Depending on the size of tank I would recommend a two-part system to balance Ca and Alk. Otherwise, Kent's Turbo Calcium will help beneficial corralines grow. Just make sure you test your system.

test it??

Test to see where you are at now. Choose ca/alk system. Test to make sure you are not over/under dosing.

Personally I would just do weekly pwc, that alone should keep your calcium and alk at decent levels.

i do the pwc every 2 weeks... i was just thinkin maybe in addition to add more color to the live rock.. but if u do not suggest it then i will not put.. i thought i can just add some sort of chemical that wont hurt any fish or coral just affect the color of the rockk

What type salt are you using? I have found IME that Oceanic keeps my calcium at about 400-420 just by doing weekly PWC`s. Here is a link as to what your testing should read

With the issues you have been having in your tanks lately, I would not start using additives at all.
