Good job on the rock. For now while curing, you want to make sure there are no stagnant areas in the curing container/tank. The salinity I personally wouldnt worry about it yet. The temp as you know can have an affect in the curing time b/c as you know molecules are more active the hotter they get. And I would change the water in the curing tank at least once a week and test it once a week which will give you an idea where you're at. Good luck.
