Forgive your enemies. But always remember who they are.

This is my understanding of "cured live rock" as well.....one of the
guys at the lfs was chatting to me about the latest batch of LR that
they had got in and how they were needing to empty the cup on the
Protein Skimmer multiple times a day when usually, after the die off
it
would be daily at most....

I'm guessing from my experience that there was also a certain degree
of
die off when I put the rock into my little 15 gall tank (but much less
than would have happened if the rock hadn't been "cured") - certainly
I
was getting stuff in the cup of the Protein Skimmer without having
anything in the tank other than the LR but this was minimal compared
to
what I get now with fish, corals and inverts in there....
