The experiment begins!


Ok, took it out of the vinegar and hit it with the electric toothbrush! Good news, EVERY bit of green on the rock came right off, the hydroids are gone, SO much brown crud came off of it and i now placed it in my tiny like 1.5 gallon lizard tank and my desk light is a small flourescent light, about 6-8 inches and its perfect for this so the rock is in the tank with water underneath the lamp. Got pictures will post soon

Sounds good...

'Cept... Are you afraid to put it back in the tank it came out of? I think apples to apples would be to put it back into your DT. Its not my tank so what I think really doesn't matter.
