I was drawn to dry rock because of the price. I could literally fill my entire 25G tank for about $10. So I ordered some pukani rock from bulk reef supply. I got it, boiled it, and then soaked it in salt water for 48 hours. After that, I scrubbed them thoroughly with dish soap, rinsed thoroughly, and then soaked in clean saltwater for another 24 hours to make sure there was no soap left. A lot, and I mean a TON of debris came off of the rocks. I was just about ready to put it in my tank when someone mentioned curing the rock to me. I've done a little research and I've heard it requires soaking for up to 3 weeks in saltwater. I was just wondering if what I did was sufficient or if I still need to soak it? It's only 3 total pounds of rock, and I do have an established bio filter on other rock that's already in the tank. Thanks folks!
