cycling tank and curing live rock..needs advice

[chikay10]

Im planing to cure my dry fiji rocks and cycle the tank at the same time. This would be my first time curing live rocks.
How long would it take for me to cycle and cure at the same time??..and is it the same process as regular cycle with live rocks??..can someone walk me through this process. . Thanks..

Do it all together.

'Curing' rocks is simply a process where you 'cycle' rocks (live or dry) in a separate container so there is no spike from die off or decay in the already setup DT. But if you are cycling the DT there is no need to 'cure' the rocks. Cycle everything together.
