I have a bunch of live rock that I'm going to make safe to use in my freshwater tank. The kind of algae it has on it makes it unattractive to sell to another saltwater enthusiast, so I'm just going to use it myself. I'd intended to put it in fresh water for six weeks to let it "re-cure", but suddenly, I find that I don't really have six weeks. Through a happy set of circumstances, I have fish appearing next weekend.
Could I dry the rock for a couple days, then scrub and boil it? Would this make it safe to use? Maybe a little bleachwater dip before the boil? I know they won't have bacteria, I just need them to be safe to use in the tank.
Thanks!
