dry rock to live rock

[oscarxj]

I have done a lot of reading on this and i still cant seem to find what i am a looking for. I took down a tank around 3 weeks ago. I put all the rock out side in a tube to dry. The other day I pulled all the rock out of the tube and took the hose to it. Now it has been on the drive way drying. From here what to do next. Any information would be great.


Thanks

Put it in your tank. Bacteria count naturally occurs as your tank cycles. Or if you want it to happen overnight go to a lfs and buy an additive that can make it happen. Not sure on the name but they will know what it is.

Dr. Tims is the only bacteria in a bottle that actually works. Here is a Mr. Saltwater tank feature video about it. [video=youtube_share;kPxExG-FbvI]http://youtu.be/kPxExG-FbvI[/video]

+1 on Dr. Tim's. it's the only additive I've heard people have success with.

I just put dry rock in a tub with heater and powerhead and seed with a bot of live sand and/or a piece of already live rock. Let sit for about a month. Better known as "cooking rock".
