I recently purchased 40 pounds of dry rock from Amazon for a reef tank I am setting up (https://www.amazon.com/Worldwide-Im...eywords=atlantic+coral+rock+worldwide+imports). I rinsed the rocks in RODI water several times to remove any free floating debris out. My question is, since it's dry rock and I don't see any dead sponges or anything at all on the rocks really, should I still cure it before starting to cycle the tank?
I have a brute 32G trash can ready for curing, do I soak it in RODI water with a heater and power head for a week or so before doing the same in salt water or just start the cycling process since its dry and thoroughly rinsed?
I am still doing my research on reef keeping and taking it very slowly, so any and all suggestions are welcome.
