Good afternoon everyone,

I am slightly new to the forum. Been into reefing for a total of 2 years. My new tank is about 10 months old primarily with just rock in it. (few pieces of zoas and hammer coal. My plan is to start a new tank very shortly and move the live rock into my new tank. Before I do this I wanted to take it all out and clean it up. I hear about curing rock and bleaching rock and all sorts of things. Bleach, acid, etc... So many different methods and I'm confused as to what I need to do.

My plan,

Remove all my rock and start over for my new tank.
Also have a tote full of rock I bought off a friend that I also want to clean up. I'd love opinions and some help in doing this since I cannot find a clear method to do this. Any help is appreciated. And I apologize if this question has been answered in a previous thread.

Marcio.
 
I'd do bleach 10% solution then cure/cook it for a while to clean anything out of the rock. There are a ton of guides on this. Also this is time consuming and will not happen overnight.
