Hello , I have been in the process of preparing my rock for about two months now. I bought most of it dead live rock, I bleached it for a few weeks, then I power washed it, left it in the sun for two weeks, now it has been soaking in dechlorinated water for about 3 weeks, and I just changed the dechlorinated water today. My tank should be in next week at the latest, so I should be ready to aqua scape about the middle of next month. The question is should I also cure the rock in salt water, another round of just rodi water, or should it be ok the way I have done it already? Thanks
 
My process was very similar to yours took about 2 months.
I did one last round of RODI water with seachem prime then did a cure cycling my rock in saltwater. Had great success and cut my tanks cycling time taking only two weeks.
 
You could add prime then cycle in salt rodi. If you want to get ahead further, some.people add a bottled bacteria as lr is curing and a nitrate source.
