So i had a really bad outbreak of bryopsis, so i pulled out the rock w bryopsis and dipped in water and bleach.
what are my steps of curing that rock so i can put it back in the tank.
ive pressure washed it and its been sitting in a bucket w salt water for 2 days now.
any help will be appreciated! thanks.

How much bleach are we talking about.

easy way would be to just let it dry out. The chlorine will evaporate so to speak. That's what I do with my filter socks.

If you plan to keep it wet , maybe some prime and water changes in the bucket for a bit.

If you only pulled out a couple pieces, rinse them well let em sit in water for 24hrs. Then just throw them back in.
