Sun bleached live rock now what?

[wicz101]

I have a bunch of old live rock, that is sun bleached. Any recommendations on what my next step should be w/ it?

If you want to use it, throw it in a separate tub of salt water for a month or so in the dark at around 75d. Should be nice and ready to use then.

I agree with the recommendation, but would probably spend a lot more time curing it if you intend to add it to an established tank.

Thanks for the advice, I've heard that I should drip/soak in muastric acid or bleach water, sorry about spelling, for 25 min then a 36 hr freshwater bath. Is this needed Ideas, opinions etc...

Search button would be one, but, depends on what you want to do with it, how nasty it is. If its just rock, no need to do much. If it has a lot of grunge on it, maybe muriatric(sp) acid. All in all a good cooking for a month, two or three is fine for basic rock.
