Live Rock from LFS

Is most of the live rock form the LFS already cured? It is all in big rubbermaid tubs when I go in there, and im not sure if it is cured or the owner is curing it as it sits.....

do you see any skimmer inside the tub with alot of water movement from powerhead.Otherwise, it can't consider to be fully cured at all.

I always ask just to make sure its not newly thrown in but more often than not its fully cured at my LFS. Just ask, they won't think your nuts

thats the best way to tell. my LFS has both cured and uncured, so you have to ask for which one you want.
