bleached rock??
I bought 75 lbs of what used to be live rock from a fella that had it soaking in a bleach water solution to cure it. Should I do anything to it before use besides rinsing it off?

Curing it? You mean killing it, don't you? You do realize that there is nothing Live about that rock anymore? You will need to get some living rock to seed it again.
Hope you got a really good deal on it... I would soak it a few days in highly declorinated water and maybe do a water change on the second day...

1 thing for sure, no hitch-hikers! good or bad. if you're gonna have a large tank, it would make great base rock. first, i rec. the same as Insane Reefer. soak, rinse, soak, rinse. then add as base with good LR and wait for life to begin. its gonna take a few months, but nothing good happens in the reef fast. REEF-ON!!!
