Curing my Live Rock "Does it Matter"

I'm going to cure this LR i got for free, 85lbs of it.

I know that it matters when you store or mix alot of SW or RO water to use a food grade container or a Rubbermaid "Brute" trash cans the grey ones.

Now does it really matter what type of plastic container ie: sterilite, rubbermaid to use when you are curing live rock.

Thanks for your imput.

all the same. just make sure that it is not "Mildew Resistant" or "Low Odor" Or "repells silverfish" if the label says that it does something besides hold stuff then dont use it.. just keep in mind that the vast majority of these containers were never ment to hold water, and water is heavy. so take a good look and make sure that the container can handle the pressure of water
