Muratic acid is probably the best way to force out any phosphates that are held within the rock which would leach out when you go to set up your new tank.

I have done 3 days bleach/water then rinse then soak 3 days in baking soda/water then final rinse in rodi for 3days changing water daily. And finally sunbake till dry. And after all that still had algae growing.

now I just buy live rock and will never do dry again.
