Killing off live rock ?

Broke down my tank today and I have set my live rock out side to kill it off and start over. Dang pests. Any way rain is in the forecast all day tomorrow. can't put it under the covered porch as the only one is in the front of the house and the wife says no way. Will the rain hurt it or should I not worry about it?

 

do you live in a populated area? maybe pollution in it.
also have you though about boiling its faster. just don't use your wifes pots, or atleast tell her your using them lol. sorry im a bad influence
but you could try putting the rock in a rubbermaid and pouring boiling water on them.

 

Live in the country but the city is not far away.

 

If you are trying to kill of problems I could cook it or soak it in bleach as it is the only way to be safe that your not going to add problems back into your tank

 

after the soaking in bleach replace the water and add like a bunch of prime or something like that

 

I soaked mine in bleach for a day or two .. then baking soda a day or two to neutralize.

 

This is crazy I just bit the bullet today and removed all of my LR today myself ( Dealing with Bryopsis hopefully once and for all ) I wanted to be sure to kill all of the algae I nuked all my rock today it is raining here today too I put the rock in with a bleach and freshwater bath a powerhead in each tote and put the covers on and set them outside I checked back a few hours later and the rock was already pretty white and clean looking Did someone say to neutralize the Bleach with baking soda??

 

3 days 50/50 bleach
3 days fresh water soak
Rinse
3 days of Baking Soda (2 to 4 lbs) and RO/DI water
Then let dry in the sun if possible for 2 weeks. Make sure you turn the rock every day to keep water out of holes.

 

so baking soda neutralise chlorine i did not know that

 

That is how I do my rock, got the recipe off Tangster and it has worked great.
