Moved here form Massachusetts recently. Want to start up again. Brought 40lbs of my live rock with me. They are in buckets with water heaters and air. What should be done to revive or use in the tank. The tank is a 55 gallon tank

a good indication if you have had a significant amount of die off is if it smells stanky, if not you should be fine as sharkboy & Gseclipse02 have stated. get it up and running water changes and you should be good to go. If it is smelly brush off as much of the debris as
possible with a toothbrush rinse in saltwater and you should even better. My.02
