Question

Whats the best way to clean rock for a freshwater aquarium?

Answer 1

I worked at a pet store and you can buy little underwater "vacumes" that will suck up all the junk and clean your gravel.

Answer 2

I assume you are talking about the small gravel. Here's what I did with my tank. I soak the rock in a bucket for at least 1-3 days. Rinse well. Gently move the gravel into the tank using your hand. If you have a glass tank, you should be careful not to throw too much gravel into the tank at once.

Answer 3

Arrange the rocks in a sliding position...I bet the junks gather to the low end of rocks...



have some sucker fish......

Answer 4

Just give it a rinse and its ready to go in your tank.

Answer 5

I think that it's (color rocks) already treated when you buy it. Just add water. That's what I did.
