How to sterilise used dry rock ?
I’ve bought a used dry scape what’s the best way to treat it ?
 
If it’s completely dry it’s already sterile. If you want to clean it you can use bleach or just rinse it off.
 
Maybe consider muriatic acid to strip off the outer layer. This should liberate any bound phosphate.
 
I always bleach any used rocks before going into my tanks. I've had bad experiences in the past so now I do it myself that way I know its done right
