Old Live rock

[NJsaltydog]

Just wondering if the Old live rock from my 75 gallon tank can be used again
I'm thinking if I boil it, scrub it clean and soak it in saltwater can I use it for base rock. This rock has not been in water for about 4 years.
Let me know what you think?

you should be able to just put it right in after a scrub.

no need to boil as nothing is going to be alive (eg bacteria) on it after 4 years without water.

you shouldn't have to soak it in salter water prior either. just clean it and put it in, add your cured or uncured fresh live rock in overtop.
