Hey,

I bleach cleaned 3 rocks that I took out my tank for a week. I had them in a bucket with tap water, flow, and some bleach. Rocks went from purple-ish to off white. I took them out to air dry. I plan to put them in a new tank. I bought a bottle of prime and plan to soak the rocks with tap water again along with prime for a week. It should be safe to use in the tank again right? Then, I plan to soak the rocks in a bucket of heated saltwater and Dr. Tim's one and only for a week. And what test should I use to make sure the bleach is fully gone before adding it into the new build?

Chlorine test but the prime should handle it and chlorine evaporates with time as well
