I have read all the sticky posts on preparing rock and cycling an tank. And watched the videos from BRS. But there are so many different opinions on what to do.

I got this from their site.
"NOTE: This rock does come out of the ocean and may have some dead material on it such as sponges or other critters. We strongly suggest soaking or curing the rock before use in an active aquarium."
This is very good advice. My hat's off to BRS for adding this note. As organisms die and decompose, they release phosphate. I personally would cycle the rock in a trash can.
