Got a pretty standard question, I think. I'm putting the baffles into my sump tonight. How long does it need to cure before I can set it up and use it? Thanks so much!
 
not sure... id say a few days untill it dried up (i made an overflow box but never used it and thats how long i waited before testing it)... bump, i'd like to know too.
 
It seems like I read somewhere a few weeks back that you have to wait like a week before it fully cures even though it dries in like 48 hours, but I'm not sure.

My secondary question is this: I have mangroves that are being held for delivery. Can I go ahead and get those delivered and put them in the main tank somehow until I can get the sump cured and set up? If so, then how do I do that? Thanks!
 
I would say a week to fully cure. After a few days poke it with a toothpick. If it is still moist in the middle then wait a bit longer...
