live rock

[christyf5]

Hey guys. Another question for ya.
How long does it take to cure live rock?? Can you cure it in the tank or should it be done in a rubbermaid bucket or something like that. I was just wondering about the setup process in my new tank and thinking that maybe I would get some cooler stuff if I cured the rock on my own. Last time around I got locally cured live rock but I've noticed on some of the BBs that people are eraving about cool hitchhikers and sponges and stuff on their rock. Can I cure it in the tank with a DSB or should I leave the bottom bare (ie. cure the rock first and then setup the tank to cycle). Anyone have any ideas on the process??
Thanks
