After 3 days, we took out each piece of rock and scrubbed it with a soft scrub brush and toothbrush for the hard to get to areas and then placed that rock into another tub filled with water.
Some people like to use a skimmer but, we didn't do that.
Every few days we tested our water for Ammonia and after several weeks when we finally got a 0 reading we placed the rock into our tank.
Keep in mind, if you cure your rock inside, it does smell!! LOL | Thank you Gina thats exactly what I was looking into today Now I dont have to!
