How long does it take? can I do it in a brute trash can? Do yyou have to run lights on it to help the process?

Do you mean curing?

You can do it in a brute trash can, it's basically just cycling your rocks someplace other than your DT. You don't need to put lights on it, but you should do frequesnt water chages and have something to circulate the water.

On how long it takes.It depends on the rock.Where it's from,how much dead stuff is on and in the rock,how much phosphate is trapped in the rock.But cooking works great.
