The acid bath was for 2 hours and bleaching was done for 4 days. Treated bleached rock with Prime and dried out.
There is plenty of flow. Koralia 2, Maxijet 1200, Maxijet 400, and my sump pump pushing water horizontally. The 1200 is pushing water up so that the surface is getting a fair amount of flow. I have not started skimming yet as there is no room in the Rubber Maid to place my skimmer. To start the cycle, I chucked in a couple of 1/2" pieces of fresh salmon. Also added MicroBacter by Brightwell Aquatics to aid in the cycling process. Was wondering if it could be a diatom bloom.. Could just skim the stuff off the top with a net, but to my thinking that would only be treating the symptom..  I would hate to place this rock in my new Concept cube that is coming in a week or two and have it mess things up from the start.

Hmmm how new old is the Rubbermaid container ? I have a couple big Rubbermaid bins for my r.o water and salt mixing that even after I rinsed and scrubbed them smelled funny for awhile ?
