    Yea, Do as the one person said, use the remover with Ro water. Also let it air out in the sun. The main component in the bleach will evaporate. Do this twice youll be fine. I bleach my rock all the time.

    what you have done is known as nuking rock , heres how:

    1)50/50 bleach mix with water for 2-3 days
    2)dump water, add clean water let sit for 2-3 days or longer if you like
    3)dump water, add clean water with 1 lb of baking soda per 10 gal of water let sit for 2-3 days or longer if you like
    4)dump water, add clean water let sit for 2-3 days or longer if you like
    5) dump water take rock out and let dry well.

    lots of reefers have been doing it this way for a long time.:)
