    So I have plenty skeletons of coral (which have been cleaned) & I figure that I may put it in my 20 G to be the base rock in my 40G when I get it going. Some coral has been drying on my patio table after I gave it a bleach bath & now has a bit of rust on it. Will the rust hurt my 20G?

    It shouldn't since we use rust to remove phosphate.

    I would get off as much as you can easily, but not worry about it too much.
