Default Curing Live Rock

Get a bucket of Salt water (maybe after a water change) & put your
uncured rock in there until it's not stinky anymore. You might also have a
skimmer & a powerhead running on this bucket as well.
If your ammonia levels are still detectable after that then Get some
Nitro Max Marine to help speed along the cycling process in your tank. If it
is cycled some ammo-lock & a water change should help out some. Curing rock
in a tank with inverts is not a good idea.

I have only fed the percula twice in the last 5 days in order to keep
anymore waste from entering the tank since he has only been in it for the

4
days so far and two of those were in
a bucket since I did an emergency tank swap due to a leak.
