Limestone 2

[Josiah]

As some of you may remember I made a thread awhile back asking about limestone. Well I'm here in Texas my third day here and I have 8-10 pieces of true texas holey rock or Honeycomb whichever you prefer. Now my question. How do I sterilize it?

How about soaking it in a solution of the stuff used to steralize baby's bottles?

Failing that I should have thought tipping a couple of gallons of boiling water over it will have the same effect.

BOILING WATER!!
It will kill anything nasty Good idea about the sterelizing stuff but whatevers in it might be good for humans is not Necessarily good for fish!? Dont know but i know the boiling water deffo works. Leave it in boiling water for like half an hour keep chainging the water 4-5 times you will know it is clean.

I would got with rl1oyd on this one.

Boiling stone for use is most likely the best method that you can use. I would boil them rather than dousing them with boiling water as I don't think that this would have the same effect as a prolonged immersion in boiling water, as the water would cool too quickly and the effect would not be as great.

Its time to get the big pots out!!!!!!!!!!

Id love to see a couple of nice pictures of the rock.

I took a couple of pics but they came out really bad. And I have been boiling them for an hour and a half, is that long enough?

yeah thats plenty. Now just soak em for a bit and see if any dust comes out if so try boiling again.
