What is the reason to cure live rock in the first place??????
OK well its simple, to to let the organizims that are on the rock that have died off during the transportation from the sea to the store (which can be days) decay and prevent a larger ammonia spike in the home aquarium also let the organizum that are alive recouperate.
So in other words you will be doing a cure when you add them to your tank and if you have an established tank and add to much of this uncured live rock you may just unwhittingly start a cycle in your tank.
