How much prime to use to eliminate bleach?

[Jake_the_reefer]

I have a 5g bucket of dry rock curing in half a gallon of bleach and 4 gallons of bleach. After a week of bleach soaking I'm going to dump the water then fill it back up with fresh rodi and some prime. And after that I will sun dry the rock to be 100% sure all bleach is gone.
My question is how much seachem prime should I use in the 5g after the bleach is removed and how long should it soak in the fresh rodi and dechlorinator.

Assume you meant 1/2 gallon of bleach and 4 gallons of WATER?

I’d rinse the rocks first in plain RODI water and then dump the rinse water. Rinse again with 2-3 capfuls (10-15 ml) of prime and let that sit overnight. Most of the bleach would have broken down by this point or been rinsed away, so you shouldn’t need much Prime.

When I use any dechlorinator product, I usually use 4-5 times the amount recommended on the bottle.
It's probably over kill, but it's better to use more than not enough.

Bleach is liquid form of chlorine and prime will neutralize it. Prime can be used 5 times the recommended dose in case.
