I was reading this, and today my 45 pounds of LR is going into my 30 gal tank !!!!!!!
Many aquarists choose to cycle a new tank with live rock, rather than live animals. This works well, but DON'T use fully cycled or full growth live rock to do so, or during the tank cycling process you will most likely end up with dead live rock. You can begin a reef tank using a small, but adequate amount of seeded or cured base live rock as the center stones in the aquarium. Once the base rock is established and the tank is cycled, then you can begin to add, slowly, more advanced types of live rock like premium quality for back and sides (large flat shaped), encrusted octocoral (large long shaped, for high points), ricordia mushroom rock (for accents), and then you can start adding corals.

If it is cured (and from reading your threads it is) your cycle should go quick. I would toss a cocktail shrimp in as you said it was wet and didn't smell so you probably don't have much die off to get a real good cycle going.
