griss' Tank Upgrade Thread

[Jimbob]

After the acid bath and subsequent soak in baking soda water, the rock I got from my friend is a bit stinky. I think I’d like to do a bleach soak but, I may have to put off using that rock b/c I think you need to do that outside (chlorine gas) and temps are pretty damn cold here.

Definitely minimize chlorine inside for a number of reasons.

Hmmm, maybe I can still bleach bath the rock outside??? I have pool shock I was planning to use.

Do you have a strong pump to keep the water moving quickly?

Yep, variable speed DC pump.

Yep, variable speed DC pump.

Oh, wait, were you talking about the bleach bath or the return pump? For the bleach bath, I have several MJ1200 with the propeller prop on them.

Oh, I do have an extra 300w heater I suppose I could put in the Brute too. Not sure why I didn’t think of that beforehand.

So, this has been discontinued or out of stock. Scott from Aquarium Specialty called me to let me know he couldn’t get it from his supplier. I should have guessed that might be the case since I couldn’t find that rock in stock or offered anywhere else.

He offered a refund, credit towards other rock or, as an alternative, he said he had a bunch of mixed rock…some used, some new and he could put a package of 50 lbs together for me. I opted to go with the mixed rock package.

Scott was great to deal with and really went above and beyond in his customer service. He said he hand picked each rock and is shipping it in 2 boxes to minimize breakage. Very impressed with how he handled the situation and would highly recommend buying from him.
