liverock isnt hard to take care of at all. just keep your water parameters normal, and make sure your nitrates are low. this will prevent algae booms. make sure you have a good clean up crew also to combat the nusance algaes and diatoms you may get from time to time.

also, my lfs guy reccomends trace elements and Purple Up. both of which you can get at petstores. purple up promotes coraline algae growth, (the pretty purple, pink, and red calcerous kinds.) trace elements are good for the entire tank; liverock, corals, sponges, inverts, and fish.
