12 year old dry live rock ok?

[HexaReef]

I have this rock that came out of my old tank from 11-12 years ago. I has been in a rubbermaid container. I boiled it all and soaked it in strong vinegar water for 5-6 hours then soaked in fresh water.

Should i be good to go?

I wold think so as long as it was in the tub.

Sure, there's no reason not to use it. It may well have a bit of phosphate precipitated on the outside from its last use, but that will rather quickly get dissolved away in a new tank.

Just an FYI - its not a good idea to boil live rock. In case there could be toxins - especially if Zoas were / are on it. But the rock looks nice - shouldn't be any reason not to use it.
