Bleached rocks safe?

[fish_dewd]

I went and got rocks for my fish tank to clean them i put them in a 5 gallon paint bucket with some bleach. Then i washed them in fresh water and let them sit over night about 3x. Is it safe to put them in the tank ?
Thanks,

I would say that you are safe to put them in your tank as long as you are sure you cleaned them off really well, thats not an uncommon way of cleaning decor.

yes safe as long as there rinsed good, and make sure there is no bleach smell at all..

Same as lilbuddy FO for years with those dead coral pieces, put them out on the deck in rubbermaid tubs to bleach them clean, rinse really, really good, let them soak in fresh water, and rinse again, let air dry, good to go.

I have bleached several things also but after I rinse everything out of them I soak them in a declorinator before returning them to my tank.
