He said there's a bucket of rock. That's maybe 10-12 lbs? At $7/lb, that's $70-86. What's a bucket of salt worth? Because you'll be using ~100 gallons of it to do proper water changes on the 20-gallon tank you'd use to cook the rock. If you're like me, you pay ~$90/bucket of salt (160 gallons), so that adds up to about $50 in salt PLUS THE TIME YOU WASTE ON IT. I'm going to stop the rest of the doing the math here because it should be pretty obvious by now that it's a colossal waste of time. And that's just the economics side of it. Recall this is rock from a tank that crashed.
