What trouble? The rock is dry, there is nothing but maybe a little dust on it. Aquascape it how you want your tank to look, then fill it up with water and go. Thats all. If your tank is all ready to go, then just go. If you maybe don't have the tank set up yet, but have the rock, then sure why not, toss them in a brute can, fill with saltwater, and add some ammonia or bacteria product. But that is in no way needed.
