    I take a siphon and place it over the bubble (with the siphon going already) and scrape it off of the rock if its on a flat surface. All debris is sucked up. if you do this use a tube though without the big chamber on the end as the chamber is designed to not suck big stuff in. Short of that i would take the rock out if its not a base rock or under others and yank it off then scrub the are very well.
