Default Curing Dry Rock

I'm thinking . . . I see no reason to cure dry rock in saltwater: at least for the first couple of weeks. There is no life to preserve. I simply want the phosphates to leech out.

I've got a new batch of Eco-Reefer rock. I haven't had an issue with this rock in the past. I have had severe "new tank" algae issues with dry rock that I picked up at Red Coral, however. I have no idea if the stuff I got from Red Coral is the same, or different, from the Eco-Reefer rock.

I'm planning 4-6 weeks in ro/di with a heater and powerhead, and then 4 (or so) weeks in saltwater with something to seed it. Any reason why this shouldn't work?
