How long did it take for your pukani rock to cure, and did you add any other live rock/sand to it?

The reason why I am asking is because I just received an order from BRS and am in the process of rebuilding my tank, and was reading last night that it can take up to 6 months to fully cure and stop releasing phosphates into the water.

not sure about pukani but my marco rock only took a couple of weeks. I used bacteria to dose and instant cycle live sand too though. Still having issues with SPS but everything else is doing great in my tank and it's been 6-7 weeks since I set it up from scratch.

It could be still leaching phosphates into my tank not sure. I am battling cyano right now but it is slowly going away, not sure if that is the culprit or if that is a normal phase with algae. Martin is right it took my tank 6 weeks to cycle. Curing is a different matter though. I never used any live rock as I wanted no hitchhikers. Hopefully this helped ya.

Sorry I have been really busy lately. I was in Steamboat over the weekend for a tournament for my son's baseball team.

Tank has been coming along great. I am not battling any cyano any more. I added a few pieces of coral and a flame angel over the last couple of weeks. I will try and post up some FTS.
