Curing base rock

[pgolnick]

I bought some base rock that was stored half-in and half-out of water. I have been cycling it just like uncure LR. How long should I keep curing the rock and should I seed it while curing. Ammonia 0, nitrite 0. Clean smell and no grunge/foam on top. Its been about 2 1/2 weeks. I've changed the water mult time.
I want to add this rock to my fuge and sump. My tank has been running for about 6 month with any major problem and I don't want to add anything that could cause it to crash.
Thanks,
Phil

I would add some live rock or sand to the base rock you are curing. When you test out 0s for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate, your rock is ready to use.

I would add that you need to test 0's for at least a month.
