cleaning (dry) live rock?

[Fennel]

I don't believe bleach will hurt anything. It is muriatic acid that will eat through the various layers of rock. Both percentage of acid mix and duration - BRS has a video on bleach and acid - it was helpful.

My rocks spent 2 days in bleach then another 2 in lanthium chloride. Shy of using the acid trick bleach helps but won't get them moon base rock nine white color but it does help get the loose stuff off and pretty them up.

Lanthium acid.. all the hard work was done.. but to just clean it up, after all that, all the ease of use, not too caustic stuff, just neutralizes itself rendering it salt and water... For example I bought clean dry rock that was recycled and cleaned up that way, but then I get a cyano algae even after that.. no fault of the distributor, mind you, but if a citric acid soak doesn't work, will it bake in the everloving oven? Or is that going to make a phosphate issue? Educational time, so worth every cent..
