My cycle suggestions is for decently clean rock thats already lfs cycled and not what is called "raw" rock. Its just for the general tank cycle.
Um, isn't cooking where you put it in a container of water with a small power head and heater and make it totally dark, then every two weeks you rinse the rock and put it in a new container with new water, and keep doing it till all the junk is gone.
