I have cured rock before, but time is a luxury that I dont have. Cooking rocks can take some time. This tank has to be setup by monday of next week. Several people, whom I have considered very good reefers, have contacted me and said that I should be fine. I am in the process of cooking some rock for my 75 gallon tank though. I really do feel that rock must be cooked in a barebotton tank so it will help keep it detritus free. I will use all of the water from the same mature tank and all the liverock. It wont be too long since the bacteria grows in all the surface areas. I still want more suggestions if anyone has them. Hey Diego(Reef69), I know you switched tanks recently. What should I avoid in your opinion? Gary, I need you on this one. I have a pretty good idea on what I want to do but I just want your input.
