+dapettit Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Man, I just full of questions! Need to clean some live rock and some bedrock. What kind of brush other than a toothbrush can I use that would do a good job in the least amount of time? Thanks, Dave & Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headless_donkey Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 If the rock is in the water you can also use a turkey baster to blow the stuff off the rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenM Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 If the rock is in the water you can also use a turkey baster to blow the stuff off the rock. After the rock is cured and the tank is up and running, is there supposed to be specks of stuff still loose on the rock? I bought all cured rock, but anytime I bump it or if I accidentally aim a powerhead at it, particles go everywhere. I don't know if it's leftover food or rock "castoff" or what.

Noodle Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 That's pretty normal stuff. It could be waste from whatever worms and other inhabitants are living inside the rock, or poo from your hermit crabs or snails. Just turkey baste it up into the water column when you're doing a water change to remove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael_t Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Ok. Thanks, Yun. Yeah, it's poo, commonly known as detritus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
