Curing live rock Q

Heya all.
So, I'm converting one of the tanks into a solid SPS tank, but I need to clear some stuff out and add some stuff in.
One of the adds is some live rock, pretty darn clean stuff, but has been in storage for a few years.
I dropped a few pieces into my working tanks, each has about 50 pounds+ of well established rock in it.
How long do you guys reckon I should cure it?
Never cured rock in an active tank before.
A week? A month? A buck two fifty?
Advice appreciated as always.

Agreed, just giving the bacteria time to colonize it. Better to be safe than sorry so we go with a month.
