    Is Cloralen bleach safe to clean dryrock?

    Hello, I’ve been researching which bleach to use to disinfect rocks. So far this is the closest thing to 100% sodium hypochlorite I could find and without scents or “low splash”.

    Live rock now dead

That guy said the tank was used for less than a year but has been stored in a garage for years ever since with the rock just dryed out in a box. My question is can I just rinse off the rock and put it in the tank...

    “Bleach”. Am I missing something?

    Bleaching rock? I went to Lowe’s picked up closest thing I thought to being basic bleach EXCEPT it was splashless. Bleach used to be basic and contain 8% Sodium Hypochlorite. Now it’s been watered down in some cases to 3 percent and has all this “extra” stuff in it. Scents, thickening...
