dcgray789 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Hello everyone =) I'm new here and so far I really like it, I do have a question though and hope it doesn't sound too dumb. Does anyone know if using bleach to clean dead live rock (I purchased some) is the correct way to clean it or is there another way?? thank you!!! Link to comment
nano427 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 First of all There are other ways such as pressure washing, but here is a good link to using bleach and acid. They can be very effective and cleaning rocks. http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.p...ighlight=bleach Link to comment
thewire Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Make sure you do it outdoor not in the basement! Link to comment

Rick Shaw Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I like using muratic acid then doing a bleach bath. Definitely do it outside and dont let the rock sit in the acid more than 10 min or it will eat a bunch of it away. Link to comment
neuwave Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Just curious why do u want to bleach the rock? Why not just wash it off? I've used dead rock many of times by just rinsing the extra crud off. Making the rock white seems alittle odd cause algae and coraline will grow on it anyway. Also I doubt there is an organism that survives in the air would die submergered in salt water. So I'm curious why one would want to bleach it in the first place. Link to comment
