Just remember to be patient when curing the rock. It could take days or
weeks or even months, depending on how big your vat is and how much rock you
have.

That in mind, start reading about curing to prepare
yourself. When the brown stuff comes up (diatoms), it normally freaks
out newbies. Then you'll have a few steps afterwards...

Thats when the fun begins. right. Isnt that the time to add critters like
crabs and snails?
