I am loking at buying some more live rock for my aquarium and considered getting dried live rock because I will be able to get more due to it being cheaper, I have heard tell of it being possible to 'seed' dried live rock with my current live rock and I wondered how long it would take for the rock to become 'live' again
thank you

Re: live rock curing time
about 6 months
if you have sufficient beneficial bacteria, just drop them in (pre washed of course) and you should be good to go. It will grow out over time.

Re: live rock curing time
"Curing" is not what you are doing here. You are seeding the dry rock with life. You might want to read this thread though: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=30697
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...
