Need help

Very new to reefing. Just need questions answered. A family member gave me a 90 gal tank with live rock. And I knew It was going to be a few weeks before I even start adding water just been cleaning and reading. But I bleached the live rock to kill everything on the rock to start fresh but after it's been in bleach and water for a week I found what looks like worms... if I pressure wash the rock and got off of it off will the rock be good or should I just get brand new rock.

Those are calcified on. They’re dead if bleached and power washed. Their tubes are stuck to the rock and other than an eyesore, nothing to worry about.

The best advice anyone can receive in this hobby is to not rush everything. Build it up slowly, not overnight. Not only does this allow your system to adapt to new additions - whatever they may be - but allows you time to correct any problems and research more of what you want to do and can do.
