You doing 50lbs in one batch? How big is your pot (how many quarts)?

The amount of water in your pot determines the amount of seasoning, not the poundage of crawfish
You would season 50 qts of water the same if it had 1 pound of crawfish or 50 pounds
For 50 qts of water I use :
6 pound of Louisiana fish fry powder (roughly 1.5 bags)
1/2 cup of cayenne
8oz zats liquid

First boil:
1 tub of pro boil
2 liquid seasoning
3 seasoning bags
2nd boil:
2 liquid seasoning
3 seasoning bags
I generally do a bottle of lemon juice per boil as well.

The soak is the most important. If you use enough seasoning, don't actually "boil" the crawfish, and cool the water for the soak, you'll be okay.
You'd me better off buying some gallon jugs of water to freeze to throw in to cool during thensoak than freaking over seasoning amounts being perfect. Throw four or five in there and spray the pot down with cold water after. Let them sit and start tasting at 20 minutes.
