Removing bleach/ chlorine smell from dry rock

[kris2001]

My stock tank has 300 lbs of dry rock. This rock was treated with bleach solution about 1:20... rinsed well.... Now still smells like bleach. It's in new city water still.

Can i add aqua safe for like 50 gallon water ratio and run a PH for a week?

Pls advice thx

When I bleached my dry rock it took about two weeks of soaking in RO water & Seachem Prime to remove the smell. Changed the water out every few days.

Best way is to set the rock in the hot sun for a few days and let it dry out. Chlorine is volatile and with good sun and a breeze it'll just evaporate.

Forgot to mention I let mine dry as well. Although it was winter, so I didn't have the advantage of sun!

I let mine soak in RO with prime for a week as well. Drying out works too.

Put it out in the sun. chlorine is a gas & the rays of the sun quickly break it down .
