| Sunshine Reefer   | Re: curing live rock Is the rock dry? If it is then by definition it is dead rock. It will gain some life by being in contact with live rock, but it takes a long time if ever to really become live. I would strongly recommend that you get a decent amount of live rock to seed the dry rock. It will gain some life fairly quickly but it takes time to gain the nitrate reducing properties of real live rock. Don't expect it to start working right away. If it is live rock it needs to be in saltwater to keep the life alive.
