Using a powerhead, small heater and a big bag of carbon (great to combat major stink) I cooked my rock for two weeks in a RM tub.
Then I added the rock to my tank and for the first week used SeaChem Stability (per directions on package) as a bacteria additive. Within another week my tank was done cycling. To be safe I waited another week just to be sure I had no ammonia spikes. I didn't! I then transferred my live stock to the tank.
