Re: Got Rock?!
I would go with the vinegar or even hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) in water. See Johns (jhnrb) write up in the articles section on cleaning live rock that has been in a tank where copper was used. It will fizz like alka seltzer added to water and you will etch away the surface but you will also etch away all the stuff on the surface that will not readily wash off. I would rather lose a 1/32 of an inch off the surface and know the rock was as clean as I could get it then take chances by just washing or soaking the rock.
