Hello all.

I am finally making the final steps to getting my new tank setup. I ordered some of the BRS Pukani dry rock to set up my tank. I've read all kinds of theories on what to do with the rock prior to putting it in the tank. What do you guys recommend being the best way to prep the rock for the tank?

Muriatic acid, vinegar bath, soak in RO and change the water regularly, or cure in saltwater?

The tank is a fresh setup. Time isn't a huge concern, but I would like to get it started sooner than later. I am willing to put in the time to do it the best way for the system.

What do you recommend? What has worked for you?

Thanks.
 
I pressure wash it really well, find any leftover dead organics and pull them off and then cure it with MicroBacter7 for a couple months.
