I didn't use any live rock whatsoever to start, but thought the introduction of corals on rocks would kick off the 'birth' of live rock so to speak. Quite a bit of rock with corals was obtained. My tank is now well over 5 years old and the once inert rocks are live. They're covered in all sorts. In retrospect, one thing I would have done would be to introduce some live rock in addition to relying on the coral rocks. This would have speeded up the process. Did the same in my tank.
