Well, been a while since I updated this thread, so here goes..
I got a bunch of dry rock (thanks [MENTION=7562]joseserrano[/MENTION] ) and started the process of getting it all cleaned up
Decided I was going to go all mideval on the rock since the current little tank has had, and seems always have, Aptasia. Didn't want that to happen again so..
Got a 55 gallon for super cheap and prepared to have some chemistry fun
Was kind of a fun experiment.. Here is just as I added the acid to the barrel
And after about 5 minutes
Let it cook for about 20 minutes and then gave it a pretty thorough rinse. Lots of nastiness came off, and I have to say, rock looks great.
