    Reseed (dead) live rock

    Thank you for replys, I feel like it will take forever just introducing a piece or two of live rock to the roughly 100 lbs i have. I was told the most beneficial bacteria's and organisms gather at the bottom of a sump or tank. My idea was to go to a LFS and see if they would sell me a few...

    live rock question

    I just want to restore it so I can sell or donate it to another member. I dont have room in my current tank for it but I dont want to lose 40 lbs of rock that is sitting in fresh water with no heater.
