:? Does anyone have some good advice for curing or making "Dead Live Rock" safe and ready for my tank.

I bought this stuff yesterday and would like to get it into my tank but do not want to endanger my setup. Do need to cycle this stuff or can I just place it in my tank as is. The place where i bought it indicated it was "dead live rocks"

Thanks

You will need to cycle it somewhere other than your tank. I used a rubbermaid tub i bought from Target. Just mix some saltwater into the tub and run a power head on the bottom pointing up. Mine took 10 days and the cycle was completed. Just test the water and when the nitrate is down you should be ok.
