Curing new dry rock
I am just doing that right now. I bought 50 lbs of dry Marco rock and am curing it in a tank with about 10 lbs of live rock taken from my display tank. I kept checking for ammonia and nitrites, but never did get any. The water I used already was high in nitrates, so not sure if I would have seen nitrates if I had used new salt water.
I have had it curing for about a week now, and plan to start adding a few pieces back into my display tank over the next week, and see what it does.
I will say the Marco rock is very clean, and did not see any detritus come loose in the curing tank.
