If the satone is really stone or glass (and not wood), a long soak in a mild bleach solution (one tablespoon per 5 gallons) will work wonders.... worst thing that can happen is the stone breaks down, but I've only had that happen with wooden ones. Make sure you follow up with a really good rinse.... --JD "EGMono" wrote in message > Boil it? > -- > E.G.Mono > egmono.TakeThisOut@aol.com >> Stay informed about: how to clean algae from air stone?
