vimmer Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 hey, i collected some river stones to use as a substrate, i've sorted them out a good size, but now i'm wondering how i should clean them? I've put them in a bucket and stuck the hose in and blasted most/all the dirt off of them (the water is rinsing off clear). I've left them in a bucket outside, but i'm wondering if there's a chance that algae/bad bacteria is still present, and if there's something more that i should be doing? Or will the hose have done a good enough job? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 They should be fine. Did they have algae on them in the river? If not, I doubt they will now. If you are really worried about it then boil them in an old pot for a few minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
