I went to pick up a tank for the Sump room I am building and the guy I picked it up from asked if I was looking for rock and he brought down these two beautiful pieces of Tonga of course I said Hellz yeah.
The big one is 16" tall and the shelf extends out 7" from the base perfect for the lagoon style tank I am putting in the sump room. unfortunately these have been out of water for a month, they are still damp and just starting to smell, so time to cook them I guess, I assume take all the matter I can off maybe spray them down with a high pressure hose first? anything else I should do with rock so covered in organic matter? There are sponges, coraline and lots of hair algae on the rocks.
quick pic of what I am working with here. funny how I can got more excited over rock than the tank.
