Live Rock

[Tanner Heintz]

I picked up some live rock the other day from a guy its probably about ten pounds worth, I want to add it to my display tank but the guy who had it kept it in a tank that he treated regularly with copper my question is would there still be copper in or on the rock and if so how can I get rid of it so i can add it to the display?

Yes. Its probably still in the rock. Not reef safe. Fowler only.

is there anyway to get rid of the copper like drying out rock completely or a acid dipping?
