live rock

[titus]

Hello christyf5,

I'd cure raw live rock in a new tank. During the curing process, you have to make sure you are running a good skimmer with tons of water flow within the tank. You wouldn't really need any lighting as it might cause algae bloom. Besides, it's not likely there will be anything that requires heavy lighting anyway.
For established system, usually you can add raw live rock in. This is possible as long as it's a small amount.
