Hi,
I understand that live rock has to be cured before it can be put in your active tank, but what if you don't have a separate tank to cure it in? Is there a way to do it without separate equipment?
Thanks
 
Welcome to Reef2Reef!

What I have done in the past is cured it in a bucket of water with a powerhead. Just change the water every couple days in the first week and then once weekly after that till the ammonia is zero.
 
Welcome to R2R! Just like skins said you can cure it in a bucket or a new trash can.
