Used Wrong Sealant

John,

I didn't respond, 'cause I'm just not SURE.

Live rock, particularly, is very porous. I'd put it thru a BUNCH of fresh water changes AND time sitting in water. You can then re-introduce it and it will repopulate with bacteria, becoming "live" again. Dilution of the chemicals is key - and livestock will not tolerate much of it.

I remember in high school Bio II class, a friend of mine was working with an African plant that natives used to tip arrows/spears. He diluted it 400,000,000 to 1. It killed a goldfish in seconds.

i am also not sure if you would be ok using that rock or sand, just agreeing that if you decide to use it you should flush it well.

Bill, that reminds me of pee...how diluted does it need to be before one would drink it..lol

I would be concerned that just removing the sealant and putting different sealant over it could still leave trace amounts of the poison. Is replacing the sump an option?
