Wow! Sick rock! Is it true you have to let cement cure before adding it to a tank?

I make my rock and soak in RO for a day then it goes right into my system or the people that it was made for.... There is a way to make it have lower ph if you want to add a lot to a system otherwise the ph bump is not a problem.. Curing doesn't take place because there is nothing dead on the rock to start a cycle, unless your adding it to a new system.. Iv'e been doing this for a while now have found ways around the ph... But the ph is a good thing... I run a beast calcium reactor which uses a lot of CO2 and that makes the ph lower.. I have never used kalkwasser since I started making rock for a reason..
