FLFishChik Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 I use hot water (as hot as it comes out of the tap, let ‘em soak , then a little vinegar and a scrub brush and rinse, rinse, rinse… then rinse some more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 All I ever do is put the rocks in a bucket or utility sink, fill with hot water, let them soak and go over them with a stiff bristle brush to get off any dirt, rinse and put in tank.

In places where there is the possibility of a chemical contamination, I will boil them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
