muriatic acid bath?

[m.kristoff]

I picked up about 125 pounds of used live rock that has been sitting on a pallet outside. I pressure washed it and it looks pretty clean, but since its pretty Porous, should I consider an acid batch to clean the rest of it?

This is for a new build so it will all be cycled together

Bleach and water safe and eeasy/effective.
Go with 50/50 mix then rinse well in cold water until you can no longer smell bleach.

Yep, no acid wash, just a bleach soak. I like one gallon of bleach per 10 gallons of water an let it stew for a couple days ( I like a week). Then do a couple 100% water changes and then air dry for a week. This will speed up your rock cure.

If you wish, search for BRS Bleach Cure for their take on a bleach dip.
