Muriatic acid is for removing items like phosphate built up in your rock. The bleach will kill many of the pests like that algae you have. It may take several bleaching and cleanings of your rock to completely rid it of the organics on it.

Perhaps using a chlorine remover found at your LFS can make sure the bleach is completely gone.
