Re-Animating Live Rock (or Dead Rock)
Has anyone re-cultured live rock? I have some that has died off completely
and was hoping there is a way to introduce most of the organisms that once lived on it.

It takes time and a lot of good live rock but it is doable... Sooner or later animals will migrate from live rock to dead rock in a healthy reef system but it will take months or even years before the dead rock will be populated as good as the live rock... So if you are a man of patience go for it :-) Tip: Use it as a base rock and cover it with fresh rock on top.

Re-Animating Live Rock (or Dead Rock)
Thanks for the advice.
Is there any way I can get the right algae to grow on the rocks in the meantime? "Pszemol" wrote in message ... "Flyboy" wrote in message ... Has anyone re-cultured live rock?
