define curing please lol
You can do a quick google search about it. In a nut shell when you get live rock its been out of the water for a while and could have die off. To cure it you put it in a plastic bucket with saltwater, a heater, and a powerhead. When the stuff on the rocks is no longer dieing you'll have zero ammonia, therefore a test kit is required. Once a rock is "fully cured" it wont cause your tank to cycle because there is no more die off.
