Re: dry rock.
The nitrification bacteria & little creatures from the live rock you add to the dry rock will eventually move over to the dry rock. It can take months for it to be fully seeded.

Re: dry rock.
Nothing to cure, it's just rock. Do you understand what curing is?

Re: dry rock.
yes. its to take off the dead matter. i have my 4.4 lbs live rock curing in 1.023 s.g at 79-80 degrees and i have an air stone in the bucket to add oxygen. and im keeping it covered so no algae grows. i did a ton of research
