Jer Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 During my Florida vacation, I found some small coral skeletons on the beach, including a sand dallor. These 'would' look cool in the tank, but what process would it take to clean them up and kill the bad bacteria on them? Bleach them? Boil them in some R/O? Thanks, Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryansweet Posted June 29, 2018 Report Share Posted June 29, 2018 4 parts water to 1 part bleach. Let them soak for an hour or so, depending on how "dirty" they are. This will kill anything bad (or good) on them that's alive and turn them white. Then rinse in RO, and let them dry for a few days before adding to the tank. Do remember that once in the tank they will not stay white, as the bacteria/coraline/algae will take hold and nature takes over. I do like the look of coral skeletons in my tank, unfortunately they all come from failed additions for me...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
