Curing rock, what does this mean?

Hey guys, so i took a few rocks out of my tank and they sat in some saltwater without a powerhead for a while. What can or should I do to be able to put these in my tank again without a tank crashing cycle?

tank won't crash from re-introduction of rock whether wet or dry.

Even if the rock is loaded with P04 or N03, unless the system is taxed to the limit, you'll be fine.

if the tank is small and adding a decent amount of rock I could see it getting taxed to limit. Just add rock slowly if you are concerned. How much rock is in there now and how much are you re introducing?

Maybe test the water in the container with the rock for ammonia and nitrite. if 0 then add to the tank.
