Ryan S June 21, 2012 Share June 21, 2012 Speaking of cooking rock, what exactly is the process for that? I was planning on just soaking it in RO water for a couple of weeks while periodically flushing it to get rid of phosphates. Anyone have any thoughts? http://www.wamas.org/forums/topic/49250-brs-pukani-rock/page__p__422160__hl__cooking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimboy123 June 22, 2012 Author Share June 22, 2012 Think I may have found a stock tank for my rock cook! I've never dealt with muriatic acid but I have heard of soaking it in a vinegar solution will work. has anyone else heard of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallreef June 22, 2012 Share June 22, 2012 yeah,, someone on here I though had done the vinegar soak? I would prefer that.. less chance of hurting yourself, lol though you do have to let it soak a bit longer but hey,,, sounds better to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad June 22, 2012 Share June 22, 2012 Here's one for sale Oops! http://www.wamas.org/forums/topic/50540-150g-black-rubbermaid-stock-tank/page__p__423614__hl__150%20stock__fromsearch__1&?do=findComment&comment=423614 is what I meant! If you take the precautions (outside, wear a ventilator and some rubber gloves at a minimum), muratic acid is really the way to go. It's safe to use so long as you use it correctly and follow the instructions. Here's the MSDS for info: http://www.brown.edu/Departments/Visual_Art/documents/Muriaticacid.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Der ABT June 26, 2012 Share June 26, 2012 i just hope yuo stayed out of the left lane with that polluting ride of yours....i mean a hummer is better for the environment for the first 10 years, and then when yuo replace your batteries....and it probably woulda fit in the back of the hummer...though the 28 in wheels you would have to run to be cool woulda made loading a pain. though i bet the car cornered better with all the down force from the wing. haha wonder if anyone actually realized that was for a fish tank when you drove by not for make jungle juice.

Ryan S June 26, 2012 Share June 26, 2012 vinegar bath for the rock in the 150g tank? is that the plan Braden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimboy123 June 26, 2012 Author Share June 26, 2012 That is the plan. Although I've read a couple different things in regards to time duration. Don't want my rocks to melt away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoutlaw June 26, 2012 Share June 26, 2012 Why not just bleach them? 4 hours in a 50/50 bleach solution, let it dry, and put it in fresh water with dechlorinator. Whey may be white when your done but the bleach doesn't eat away at the rock like the acid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
