ghetto curing to live rock :)

[Dale D]

You can cure it in buckets if you want.

It would be easier to do it in one larger container though. Just keep the salinity the same as you would in a reef tank, put in a powerhead or two for circulation and a heater and you are set.

Some people do water changes during curing and some don't. It will work either way.

You will want to do the curing somewhere other than your living room, because of the smell. :shock:

You will know the rock is cured when you can pick a piece up and smell it and it smells like the ocean and not a sewage treatment plant.

The time it takes to cure will depend on what is on the rock when you get it. For example, if there is alot of sponge on it, it will usually take longer to cure.
