I've looked around and I "think" the right answer is about 4-6 weeks but I wanted to run this by everyone. I'm not looking for AWESOME looking rock covered in cor. but just having the bacteria in place doing the work.
I took 5lb LR and put into my 10gal SUMP. Added another 5lb of Dead Rock (Lava Rock). Mag 7 pumping roughly 450-500 gph back to the 55gal tank.
What would one expect that this rock becomes "LIVE"? IE: Start being beneficial to my tank. I'm looking to upgrade my primary tank, but I'm also increasing my LR size slowly.
Is it better to just buy some new LR and cure with dead rock in QT? IE: Get 20lbs LR and 20lb Dead and put into QT tank for 4-6 weeks.
