can dead sand be changed into live sand?

[kricks99]

I have about a 1" dead sand bed in my 35 Gal, is there a way to make the sand live sand? I have live rock in the tank right now.

Once your cycle is created and done with, you will have beneficial bacteria in your sand bed, making it Live Sand.

or you can add a few pounds worth of live sand, and it will mix in with the dead sand causeing to to turn live.
