Jack Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I am planning to get some Corydora catfish and wanted to know how to clean some flat quartz rocks I found. I have read that putting them in boiling water can cause them to explode and I would rather not try the bleach. Any Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Just scrub with regular hot water. However, for future reference, if you think about it, any traces of bleach get neutralized by dechlorinator. And be sure they are really quartz and not calcite or something. Options to test for them being inert are to put them in water for a week and test ph before and after, or to put some strong acid on them to see if they bubble. I like the week long version myself, as natural rocks have more than one component sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
