From what I could find on the internet, you should soak them in a solution of 1/2 teaspoon per gallon for about 10 minutes. They say it is safer for the plants than bleach. Potassium permanganate is purple so it should be easy to see when it is all rinsed off. After rinsing, I would soak them in water with extra water conditioner added before putting them in the tank.
