Zestay, in simple terms, yes. Curing is the act of hardening the rock. Kuring, like Rhodophyta has stated, is just something used in this thread to alleviate confusion since the process of decreasing the pH was also called Curing. So, instead, the act of the rock becoming stronger is Curing and the act of decreasing the pH is called Kuring.

Now, the process of Cured and Uncured live rock is the act of "uncured" rock that has die off and organic decomposition to give the bacterial population a chance to catch up. I have even occassionally heard the act of making base rock/DIY rock into live rock Curing, too. But I normally just call it aquaculturing
