Default Live Rock

I have around 100 pounds of rock that used to be live but now is dead. In the spirit of saving money, I am considering adding just a little live rock to convert my existing dead rock into live rock.

I have a 90 Gallon tank. How much live rock should I introduce and approximately how long will it take to convert the dead rock to live?

It usually takes around 60 to 90 days for "dead" rock to come around. I'd go 50/50.
