I set my tank up in November 2013, I used my old live rock that was from my previous set up. The rock has been dried out & sitting in my garage for about 3 years. (Now dead/base rock). I cycled the rock in a separate container with a skimmer & pumps running for ammonia purposes before setting up my tank. When I set up my tank I also used a few good pieces of live rock from an existing tank that has coralline algae & a few soft corals on them. I also used new live sand bed when I set up my tank. How long will it be before that dead rock is seeded & starts to become live again with coralline algae & beneficial algae on it, if ever. Should I add anything to tank to help this process? Any advise would be helpful.
