? about curing LR?

[aquarium]

when you want to cycle your tank you put uncured LR into your tank....well after your tank is all done cycling do u take the LR out and cure it before you add the fish or do you just keep it in there and add fish TIA

*********SO SORRY FOR ALL THE QUESTIONS JUST DOING SOME RESEARCH THANKS*********

keep it in. if it is allready cycled then the lr will not do anything but sit there if u try to cure it again. if you cycled your tank useing lr than the lr is cured!

Yep, if you put uncured live rock in the tank, and cycle it, then the rock is cured at the end of a cycle. Uncured rock puts off a lot of ammonia, so if there's no ammonia present for a week, nor nitrIte, and you have nitrates (usually higher nitrates than desired in a tank) then cycle's done and rock must be done curing.

BTW, in my opinion it is the best way to cycle a tank, go for it!!
