Does anyone know how to safely clean coral? I have a big beautiful round one that is brown from all the dust of late & water isn't cutting it. I thought about orange oil, but thought it might damage it. Thanx |

Did you let it soak in water or just try to rinse it off? If you rinsed it maybe soaking may loosen up the dust. I had several saltwater aquariums and have used Clorox and water to clean corals. I would not use Clorox if it is a colored coral because some fading may occur. If you do try it start with a small amount of Clorox mixed with water. Just enough that you can barely smell the chlorine. I used Clorox because it is clear and some of the cheaper bleaches are yellow. The orange I never tried because I didn't know how fish would react the residue. Chlorine will disipate after several days. White vinegar in water might work also. Again I would start with a light mixture first. I use Orange TKO to clean the rest of the house. It emulsifies in water and turns a milky white. |
