Well for the last couple of days i have been trying to figure ut what and how many fish i want to add to the rsm. i will be adding my elbli angel and 6 line as they have survived.

so far im thinking of adding a red lipped blenny and a rainsford goby. i also thinking maybe a pair of clown gobies. wondering what people would think is a good biio load. alos wondering what fish people would recomend for such a tank. this will be a reef agin so it has to be reef friendly.

IF ONE ADDS GOOD LR TO A TANK THAT IS CYCLEING WILL THIS ROCK CYCLE AS WELL AS KILL ANY THING LIVING IN IT. WOULD THIS BE A GOOD METHOD FOR REUSING SOME OF MY ROCK?

I don't really get your question...are you asking if you add cycled rock to a tank that is in the middle of the cycle will it harm the already cycled rock? The answer to that is...maybe. Haha! I would wait until Ammonia was at 0, and nitrites were really low before I would add the cycled live rock. If that's not what you were asking...clarify maybe??

no i want to Re-cycle this rock with the hopes that it kills any hithcers. rather than wait till the tanks done cycling and adding good live rock and hoping for no hitcher.

Recycling your rock will not necessarily kill of what ever is in there.
I would put it in some salt water in the dark for a few months. It will kill off pretty much whatever needs food to survive. After the problems you have had I would be careful to add your rock back into the tank. That or trap whatever you have in your rocks.
You could keep them in fresh water for a bit and see what comes out.
My rock was dead for two years and it comes back alive fast if you add some starter rock.
