Bleaching LR

I bleached a piece of LR and its completely white.. I used a 50/50 mix I just forgot about it for a few days anyways.. what should I do with it..? I don't really NEED it its no big deal but I was jw.

 

50/50 mix of? bleach/water?

 

Yesss

 

at this point i think it would be best to soak it in ro/di water for an extended amount of time, changing the water ever couple of days to help the rock leach stuff out. I have heard after this you can let it sit in the sun light to "bake". Never had to bleach rock so im not speaking from experience, take my advice with a grain of salt.

 

Yea that sounds like a good plan I will do that thanks. I'll let it soak a long time in some fresh water and then salt water. and let it bake out in the sun, hopefully one day it can go into the sump.

 

yeah, sounds like its about all you can do to me. Maybe someone else with some real experience will chime in and give you some more information.

 

I'd probably just chunk it over the fence.... haha

Why'd you do the 50/50 soak to begin with....trying to kill some kinda pest or something?

 

Yea star polyps that were dying off. and makin a mess in my tank.

 

ive never bleached live rock..

regardless how much i rinsed it, i would be so scared bleach would still somehow leak back into my tank

 

maybe boil the rock? i would imagine that would help too.
