I have a small amount of pukani rock & some sand that came with it, it looks like it was used in an aquarium before and then left out to dry once they decided to call it quits so it's safe to assume there is plenty of dead dried out stuff in there therefore I decided I could use some more rock in my tank and my sand bed could benefit from a little more sand as I've lost some over time since I try to stir & siphon detritus off the surface whenever I change my water.
I've researched and read about the most effective ways to cure rock and it seems that plenty of sources strongly suggest the use of a protein skimmer, the tank I plan to use for curing this rock is my 10 gallon quarantine so I can't really put any normal skimmer in there and definitely don't have the money to throw into a serious skimmer for something temporary and so small, now do I have to have a skimmer to cure this rock? if so what can I use with this tank that can get the job done?
Thanks in advance for any input
