the tank has only been up for about 4 months now.... give or take a week or so. we have 18 lbs of live rock now... but want to get it up to 1lb / gal.... and the tank is 33 gal. i'm too scared to add uncured directly to the tank cause i heard that cleaner shrimps can't take ammonia too well.
anyways... i think that i'll cure my own rock. i want to try it. also... in a 4 gal bucket... how much rock do you think i can put in? so... 1 100% WC per week should be ok?.. right? ** edit ** also... can the container that i use to cure rock be air tight so that the smell doesn't get too bad? hmmm... this sounds like a st00pid question.

With a strong powerhead in the bottom of the pail, I would only fill the pail to say half full and then place a heater in. If you want more just use another pail. I would change the water every two weeks, as it's best to let the rock cure for 3-4 weeks. You also need to keep the pails free of lids as you want fresh air to also circulate over the rock. You could keep the pail in a garage or garden shed.
