i shut my last tank down about 5 years ago. rock has been sitting in my basement, since.
i am getting ready to pressure wash it, and then start the bleach soak process.
I was going to place all the rock in a brute can and let it sit outside.
two questions.
1. can the brute can have a lid placed on it? Or does this work better open??
2. does this process change any if it's friggin cold outside? Does temperature matter?
i want to place it in the basement where it's warmer, but I'm concerned about possible gasses/odors. if a lid can be used, then that solves that issue.
since it will take a while for my rock to cycle, i think i'll start this whole process now while im still building my set up
