Dry rock

[asylumdown]

yah the process of curing is to deal with the dieback that happens on recently shipped live rock. Depending on what dry rock you're using, you might not need to worry about it.

I have seen some dry rock that has dried up dead stuff on it, which will definitely rot the second it's submerged in water, but if you're cycling a new tank that is actually a good thing. Marco rock seems to have almost nothing organic in it and can go straight in to a tank.

In any case if it's all dead rock and a new tank that you're cycling for the first time, you don't need to think about curing.
