Seeding base rock

[Ismellikefish]

I have about 80lb of base rock and just recently purchased 2, 4" rocks from a 3 year old tank. They are covered in Coralline algae . Do I need to get a few more pieces or do you think that it will be enough to seed my other rock?

Also as a free bonus I found a feather duster on 1 and on both rocks there are what I think are worms, they stick out of little holes and are spikey. And one has a really small BTA.

I don't know if they will survive in a 3-4 month old tank but we will see

IMO should be plenty.

the base rocks will be seeded, but with only 2 small rocks to seed 80 lbs of base rock, it will take a long time. If you have no fish or corals in your tank, you could try feeding your tank every day, so that the pods and worms and stuff can multiply faster

The more live rock the quicker the base rock conversion as well as increase the potential for greater diversity of the micro organisms.
