cleaning dry rock

[Mav]

What do people use and where to get it? I have heard acid, bleach, vinegar etc. What is a solid good process to get rock clean. I have a few hundred lbs. Some from my 75 and others from here and there. I just want to make sure I'm not putting something bad into my big build.

RO, Bleach and Sun light for a few days.

Rinse in RO and let dry in the sun for a few days.

Rinse in RO and declor.

Chad has the right idea. Only I throw in using a good ol hose first to blast it into the crevices etc. Then Ro and sun etc.

You gonna use a stock tank as a sump? Maybe use that to soak the rocks...

A stock tank would be perfect. I'm using an adhi 60 for my sump, so no go on that one.
