Killing GSP
« on: October 21, 2010, 22:00:19 »
I'm moving in a few weeks and I was thinking of taking one of my bigger rock structures out and soaking it in muriatic acid because the structure is covered in GSP and mushrooms.  I figure this would be the best time to do it so since everything has to come out and it will make the move a little easier.  Does anyone know if I soak the rock in muriatic acid if the GSP will melt away or will it just kill it and leave the mat of the GSP?  A few years ago I took a rock outside and let it sit in a container for about a month and the GSP mat was still a pain to get off.  Also does anyone have any recommendations on the ratio of water/acid?

Are you wanting the whole rock ken or just a large frag of GSP.  You are more than welcome to get a large frag of it I could break a chunk off and give you that and that polyp I still owe you  ^-^

After a soaking in muriatic acid you should be able to hose it right off. I did that with all my rock, nothing seemed to dissolve but everything rinsed off very easy.
