Thanks... I've seen some recommendations online to use some aquarium salt whilst soaking, is that something I should be looking at considering it's for a FW tank?

OK that's great, thanks jcolon... Don't have a dishwasher at home but there's one here at work... might commandeer that for an afternoon!

Great, thanks. I think it might need treating, got it from a big pet department store and they recommeneded it, it's a bit "barky" so I think it will need it. Do you get much tannin leach from yours after bleaching? I don't really want a blackwater look, I just love the look of the natural...
