Baking Rock

[Cichlid Dad]

I am just terrified of bleach

Bleach is your friend. Use it.

I would wait until bleach is done and rinsed.

I was going to let it go till monday then pour a bottle of this https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/eras...D=4503&indexName=brs_prod_m2_default_products and then wash the rocks off and let them sit in the sun for a few days

There's no reason to use dechlorinator. Once the rock dries in the sun, the bleach is gone.

I guess then I will put it out to dry in the sun on Monday that will have give it a good 6 days to do its thing for a few days.
In the 90's here so it should dry out fast
But what about the water left in the Rubbermaid as I cant just pour it out?
God I feel so newbish about all this and I am a seasoned reef keeper who has never cooked rock
I feel like an idiot

Yes, bleach will be gone. Rinse, dry in sun.
Then a few ML's of LC for a couple days.

Just pour it out. Diluted bleach is stable for about 24 hrs and then loses effectiveness anyway.

Just finished taking my old tanks rock out of a 9 day bleach soak and laid it all on my deck railing.
The rock looks really good and all the vermatid snails are clear tubes now and it even feels clean.
How long should I leave it on the deck outside before doing anything else with it?
I took it straight from the rubbermaid and didnt rinse it as I didnt have the time but I can go back and rinse it when the rains pass through.
Here is the bleach I used

I just started a batch this morning myself!

I guess I will let it sit till Wdenesday before I do anything with it as we are having rain showers here about everyday.
Or should I soak it again before I brink it inside?

Last time I put them back in the bin with ro water with a power head for a few days and then dried it out. I don't know if it is required

I was thinking of taking my pressure washer to it for a final rinse as I really dont want to go through the trouble of soaking it in LC.
