As what sea turtle said, Oo, magiging live din yan... atleast kung dry, wlang hitch hikers, sure ka na kung ano inilagay mo, un lng andun sa tanke mo, mas matagal nga lang ang cycling process mo...best is sun dry mo rocks mo, for a week or so...
Tas better kung magdose ka ng bacteria para mapabilis + phantom feeding...and para mamaximize mo ang usage ng bacteria, mag carbon dosing ka(do your own research on this) + well sized skimmer(to remove bacteria(wag mo muna i-on and skimmer on 1st week, para magpopulate muna ung dinose mo na bacteria) and aerate the wate)(bacteria uses up oxygen in the water))...mga isinuseggests ko ay nabasa ko sa forums from reef central, journals, etc....just want to share what i know to this amazing community...
Bacteria, well the good side, are valuable organisms sa reef tank natin...they lower nitates and phosphates + provide food for to your corals...dont hate them
Hope those helped...
Cheers...
