Hi all,
So, I'm cleaning up some dragon stone..
I spent an hour Friday evening cleaning it with a cheap toothbrush but realised the amount of hard clay on the rock was significant as holes, canals and ridges were appearing as I brushed away.
I've just spent another hour after soaking it 48 hours and it still is no where near ready to be used.
Has anyone cleaned this rock successfully? I ask as I really want to use it in a CRS tank but can't if it's going to make the TDS shoot through the roof which it will in its current state.
I have thought about using a power hose but that woukd likely break the stone which I really don't want to do. any suggestions on how to clean it up would be greatly appreciated. Preferably without using toxic solvents..but all suggestions considered.
Thanks,
Al.
