I'm sure if it doesn't say on the website, a email or phone call would get you that answer.

Is the reef cleaners rock different in any way from the reef saver from brs? I read the reef cleaners has been treated so it does not leach phosphates, is this different, how do they do this?

You can "cure" your rock many ways. Most common is to soak in diluted bleach (non scented) for anywhere from a few days to a couple weeks, OUTDOORS. Do NOT attempt this inside your home. Not even your basement or garage. Then a good rinse and another soak in water with prime, to remove the chloramines.
A more holistic way is to soak the rock in a dark container with circulation for a few months to let all the organics decay off.

So when people say "my rock is leaching phosphates" the source of this is organic decay? And this is avoided by doing this?

If you choose the dark container method, do you change out the water now and then and does it need to be heated, or just circulated?
