There seem to be two schools of thought about bringing dead live rock back from the dead.
1. Put all the rock in a bin / can / old tank , add heater, pump, aeration, some canned bacteria, change the water once a month and rinse lather repeat, until the water stops smelling bad. Put it into your tank and cycle.
2. Dip in muratic acid for an hour ( concentration unknown ), soak in bleach overnight, rinse, soak in phosban, rinse, cycle.
I have time on my hands before I get to the cycle part and was going to use method #1. But now I am confused. Thoughts ?
Thanks in advance.
