Dry rock question

i bought 8 lbs of plain white dry rock from my lfs, no sign of life anywhere, i am curious if i need to continue curing this or since its dead dry rock can i just add it to my established 14gal reef tank?

 

Rinse it off and add to your aquarium.

 

I put mine directly in my tank. Well just rinse it first to get any dry sediment off.

 

thank you

 

yup. no problem.

 

thought of something else...i put that new rock in a small non-cycled tank to start curing it because i wasnt sure what to do. i tested the water just now and its clearly cycling.
when i started the curing tank i used a dried live rock out of my reef tank to introduce ammonia and bacteria...should i just leave it be or can i just rinse the new rock and put in the established tank and leave the other rock to finish the cycling. I will eventually be using the new tank as a quarantine tank

 

ehh..idk. I wouldn't risk it. Because you already put it[the dry rock] into a cycling tank, you risk adding potential bacteria into your established tank. Thus causing a mini cycle.

 

kinda what i was thinking, thanks again
