I acid washed all my rocks. They were new aquamaxx rocks from Marine depot. There was all kind if crud coming off them. If they were used from Craigslist, I would ABSOLUTELY acid wash them. Those rocks could be filled with phosphates
Yeah wash them. I bleached mine and thought they looked great , but after an acid wash even more nasty stuff came off. Home Depot Has The Acid You Need In The Pool Section

I soaked my rocks in a 30g trash can full of tap water and acid. Let it sit until the bubbles stopped. (Maybe 10-15 minutes). Then I dumped out the water and rinsed the rocks really well. Then let them air dry. Pretty simple. Nothing bad happened. And so far my tank has zero algae problems. Had a small diatom bloom, after a couple days it all cleared up.
