Drained out the soak water. Added 10 gallons of RO and one gallon of the acid. Added a piece of the rock back in and it was like the volcano science fair experiment:
Looking at all that foam I started to wonder how I had ever added untreated rock to any tank!!! It looked like eleven gallons of gross skimmate sitting on the surface. While putting the rock in I managed to get some very small holes in the gloves. At that point I started to freak out about my fingertips and nails. I could just see not being able to log into my iPhone because my prints were burned off....
I pulled all the rock out and rinsed the container and the rock with more RO. Let them dry while I went to town to buy some bleach.
