Hi all, I've just done my weekly water change and added a piece of mopani driftwood to the tank, I've attached a picture just to show how it now all looks, my other half has just told me she doesn't like the way I've set things out but I think I've disturbed the fish enough for one day so bit of re scaping tomorrow maybe, anyway, you will notice at the front a white with black speckles stone, I've got a little cluster of them at the back as well, I had stones in there already before the clean out but they had become a little discoloured with algae so the ones in there now are spares I already had, so to finally get to the question, I've cleaned the stones that came out and to get them looking as good as new I used a mild (ish) bleach solution which brought them up lovely, I've given them a real good rinse and now have them soaking in a bucket of water for possible use at some point in the future, I doubt that I will want to use them for at least a couple of months, certainly not until the ones in there now become discoloured, so if I leave them soaking and do however many water changes in the meantime will the bleach have dissolved to a degree where they are re usable or should I just bin them now?
