My niece was on a hike recently with her family, and ran across a brick sitting out near the trail that happened to have my name on it. She was so excited to take it and give it to me! When she did, I got the brilliant idea of putting it in the tank and letting a cyphastrea or encrusting Monti grow all over it.
I am not sure what kind of brick it is, or what the material makeup of it is. I’m certainly not dropping it into an established tank, but I wanted to get some feedback on if this is possible. If so, how would you go about curing it and prepping it for the tank?
My thoughts were to bleach soak it, then prime soak it, then set it up in a bucket with some saltwater and a powerhead in the garage. Give it a month or 2, then send in a water sample for an ICP test to see if there are any nasties in it.
What do you guys think??
