Hey everyone, so quick question I was having a breakout of Dino’s and I’m sure cyano over the pat 6 months. I ended up breaking down the tank as I’m setting up a 60 cube. I took all the rock out that had all the Dino slime and hosed it off and it’s pretty much outside. Can I reuse the rock should I leave it outside longer. What suggestions would you all have.

Soak the rock in bleach and rinse well before adding to the tank; or cute the rock before using

You can bleach wash the rock to get rid of organic matter. If you wanted to be extra careful you can additionally acid wash the rock to get rid of stuff that may have bonded to the surface layer. BRS has some videos on this on Youtube.

You can leave rocks outside sun bake for 3 weeks or follow what was mentioned above and after use a dechlorinator to be safe
