I just took down a 450 gallon tank, putting up a 360, I pulled about 250 pounds of pukani out of the old tank last week. It has dead coral rotting and whatever is in a 7 year old tank. What would be the best way to clean this rock ? Bleach , acid ?

My process. Do it all outside with a small pump to move the water around.

7 days in 10% bleach, then prime to neutralize.
1 day in fresh water
1 day in 10:1 Muriatic acid, Add baking soda to neutralize.
1 day in fresh water
