No painting or acid wash is going to remove the calcium hydroxide - and
forget about soaking with vinegar it's a myth. How many gallons is your
pond?

That poor fishy stuck in the milk crate has got me think'in. I am using
milk crates for plant stands, my fish are still fairly small, less than
10
inches, someone said they use concrete blocks treated or acid washed or
painted or something. Exactly what did you do to them to prevent
leeching
lime "I think it's lime" I thought about painting them black but with
what
kind of paint.....Thoughts...I don't want my fishies stuck in a milk
crate
hole...or...is there an alternative to concrete....Thanks Claude
