Hi Everyone,
I have recently purchased a Fluval Roma 200 that is going to be used for a Malawi setup. It used to be a Saltwater tank, so I have inherited about 26lbs of dead (i'm assuming as its been in a bucket for some time with no water) live rock. My question is this: I really like the look of the rock, so can I somehow clean this rock (with bleach maybe?) or prepare it for use in a freshwater setup?
If it's too much hassle i'll probably just sell it and buy other rock. I'm in the UK, so does anyone know how much I should be selling dead live rock for in the classifieds?
The tank also came with a Fluval 305 that seems to be in good condition. Obviously used in saltwater. Should I run this for a while to get any traces of salt out before using it when I'm ready to set the tank up? I may just sell it to be honest and buy a new filter.
Many thanks for your help!
