I just put 150 lbs of live rock in my new tank, half is cured and half I got right out of the box. (non cured figi, about 70 lbs). My tank is about 170 gal (60X24X27). I am putting about 1000 gph throuth the sump with a 200 micron prefilter, and about 400 ghp through a large DIY dd style skimmer. Additional flow is provided by 2 Vortec powerheads (3000 gph each)
The rock did not stink when it came in and had not showed any signs of die off in the last 48 hours.
I have 650w of 10,000K MH lighting over the tank.
My questions are:
How long do I cure the rock and during the curing process how much light should I put on the tank, if any.
BTW I have 2X250 and 1X150 with no suplemental lighting.
