Hello everyone i had a miss hap while curing in bleach. It seems some of it dried up or something, and left hardened white sections on the rock. Im soaking it in dechlorinator and plan on doing it at leat a couple more times at 2 weeks each time. Do you think this will be a problem? Thanks you can see it on the rock in the left corner.

I'd drain every 2 days, for 2 weeks, then check ph. Should be fine.Hello everyone i had a miss hap while curing in bleach.

Im not sure why checking the pH is an issue - I would re-fill with fresh water. see if the stuff dissolves (draining If you will) - and adding double or triple the usual amount of 'chlorine neutralizer' - the cheap kind. It should rapidly go away - You can also take a hose and rinse the rock. No offense to Jomama - I' just not sure that there is a magic of 2 weeks. Its a chemical reaction.

Thank you both for your help. I power washed it after taking it out the bleach and let it sit in the sun a few weeks. I actually have it in rodi water with prime now, I'll drain it this week and refill it and add more prime. Hopefully it'll come off, because there was a few pieces I really want to use.
