I've just got 17kg extra dry baserock to add to my tank, which I bought out of a basket at my LFS.
I plan to rinse this in used SW then put it straight in my tank.
Will it be ok? The rock smells ok (it smells like rock but sort of has different grey/red patches on it (pics below) but leaves a sort of white chalky powder on your hands when it's been handled.
Do you think just the SW rinse will be ok before I put it in? I'm just concerned about handling contaminents etc., seeing as I don't really know where it's been before it got to my LFS.
