Default Possibly 90 lbs of baserock?

I moved out, but kept my large 40g bin of liverock at my mom's. School's been too busy for me to go over there and do regular maintenance. So the rock's sat for about 2 months without a water change and there was a stretch where the pump (a big aquaclear HOB) was run dry for an entire week. My mom hasn't been the most diligent keeper.

I'm wondering if anyone thinks it's worth keeping or whether it's base rock now?

All the coraline's turned white of course, since there's no light. I'm wondering if it's well cured/cooked rock just prime for a tank, or whether it's useless baserock now?

It doesn't smell, because the aquaclear HOB's FULL of carbon.

Reason I'm asking is I'm thinking of using some of the rock to start a 20g nano with equipment I have kicking around. But I have to buy a light. I don't want to put any money out on liverock if my own rock's no good. I'm on a shoestring budget... Just paid for an engagement ring
