Oooo the mystery deepens. I will give that a shot
doc. Actually, i didn't realize i had to really rinse the rocks at all; i don't think i did.
So, do you think mineralization would be a problem even with base rocks mined from ancient oceans? ( like marco rocks). I wonder if it would be a good idea to let any new base rocks soak in
RO/DI water for a while to suck out all the excess minerals.
