Dry Pikani bleach than acid bath

[nbreau]

What's the suggested bath time ? Does it depend on the amount of rock ?

From what I have gathered, 2-3 hours is pretty decent for an acid bath.

Remember that these rocks aren't necessarily pure calcium carbonate - there's probably plenty of mineral contaminates in the rock that were either laid down by the corals themselves, or precipitated out through various chemical processes after the corals that built the rock died trapped within them.

A little discolouration at the end of the whole process wouldn't surprise me in the least, and you might need to dissolve the entire rock to truly get it all out.

In 40-50 gallons water how much bleach should I put in ? Thanks

Add 1 part bleach to 10 parts water. Same ratio for acid. Always add chemical to water, not the other way around.
