DRY ROCK QUESTION

[S3ASQU1RT]

SO IM WANTING TO PUT ABOUT 20lbs DRY ROCK (AQUAMAXX OR SIMILAR) AND ROUGHLY 10lbs LIVE ROCK FROM MY LFS IN AN EMPTY 30G TANK. MY QUESTION IS: WHAT WOULD BE THE PROCESS TAKEN TO TURN THE DRY ROCK TO LIVE ROCK AND WHAT SHOULD I BE ADDING TO HELP THE PROCESS ALONG? ANY ADVICE AT ALL IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!

It becomes live when the bacteria is in/on the rock. Just putting the dry and live together will seed the dry rock, you could add live bacteria from a bottle to speed up the process.

The dry rock will become live rock soon, especially hen it's with live rock
And one more thing:
