Acid washing my rock right now. Been going for 10 mins. Was thinking 20mins. Is that long enough or to long?
 
What concentration of acid did you use
 
I've used 2 cups of muratic acid in 5 gallons of freshwater and waited until the bubbling stopped.
 
For future reference 10 parts water 1 part muratic let soak till bubbles stop. Remove then rinse.
