Switch your bleach with hydrogen peroxide, it is safer for the fish. Also i recommend not boiling larger rocks, they sometimes explode from the random air pocket inside them. Otherwise your plan is solid, I also use natures free supplies. Remember when collecting wood that hard wood is what you want.

Sounds like a solid plan .. I agree replace bleach with hydrogen peroxide. For future reference, if someone were to accidentally bleach said objects (yep it's happened) just rinse it out with tap water and then submerge it in a bucket with treated water
