Dead rock to live rock?

[taylapong]

Hi,

Is it possible to "revive" live rock after it's gone dead? Most of the coralline algae on mine's gone, and certainly most of the organism too. Can i just put it into a tank and seed it with good live rock and hope that everything gets restored?

Yes you can, but it'll take a long time.

Actually are u hoping for the coralline to come back or the organism to come back??

If yur talking abt coraline and bacteria... within abt 2-3mths should do it. But the rest of the life forms... may be tough.
