Curing rock

[sealtea116]

So I have been curing new dry rock that I got I know people say 3 months in salt water is the way to do it. Is there a way to speed up the process I know I shouldn't rush but I am upgrading my tank and the new rock is my base rock. How often should I change to water in the tank that I am using to cure the rock. Thanks for the help everyone

if you have a tank already set up, take some rock or sand and a table shrimp and add to new rock. ck your ammonia, after it spikes wait for it to go to 0. maybe a month or less.

Yea I took some rubble rock from my sump to seed the new rock

I would add some special blend and nite out. I wouldn't change the water at all unless it seems cloudy or foul. Make sure you have a pump for flow in the tank. Good luck. Also check ammonia nitrate and nitrite. I think you should be good in about a month or so.

While you're at it might want to monitor po4 for peace of mind later. Just to make sure the rock isn't leeching.
