Cleaning live rock for saltwater tank

by zoepaige07

I just got a 55 gallon tank, it was recently used it has all the live rock in it and i need to know how to clean it, i think someone said something about soaking it in bleach then setting it out side for 2-3 days but i thought that would kill all of the bacteria on them. I don't have any fish in it like i said i just got it! Please someone help thanks!

Is it a reef or FO tank? If you want the rock to stay live don't clean it at all. Bleach would turn the rocks white and kill everything. Even tap water would kill the bacteria.
