You need to cultivate with another live rocks which i think will be faster. if not your dried live rocks are all dead and will take a very long time.

Dead LR will start to mature with little bacs after 9 months if no other LR helps. If helped by other LR, maybe 3-6 mths, depends on that helping LR maturity.

bUrPz Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 i see... think i should be doing the right thing... am placing the "dead" ones together with the mature ones coupled with good water circulation... but my small 2ft tank is now full of rocks... and it would be like that for a few months... probably re-scape before CNY...
