This is very important. I started this hobby when it started and we used to bleach our dead coral and gravel almost weekly. There was no rock then, dead or alive.Ohh and no additives in the bleach like no splash or fregrense just plain old bleech.
I got some and I don’t have any scent on the label so I think I’m good!This is very important. I started this hobby when it started and we used to bleach our dead coral and gravel almost weekly. There was no rock then, dead or alive.
I once used "New Fresh Scent Clorox" and killed most of my fish instantly. You can get "Regular" bleach in dollar stores. Regular Clorox I can't find any longer but never use anything but Regular and it will say it on the label.
That's what I use (from Dollar Store / Dollar Tree).Is the bleach ok to use?
