The $152 USD plants came! they came in bags, i thought they would come in contaners, but I guess not lol. but it says to soak them in unsented bleach for two min, then soak them in clean - water with de-chlorinating solution for ten, the rinse them and put them in the tank, is that ok?

I got another tank!
long story short: my younger brother was playing with our neighbors, and my mom made me go with him up there house, and there was a fish tank in the corner building up dirt and grime, and they said I could have it if I wanted it, and I couldn't say no!

I normally just use straight bleach for 1 minute because some fine leaf plants like Ambulia and Cabomba can struggle with longer times. If you want to do 2 minutes then put one plant in and see how it goes. Or give them a 1 minute bath in bleach, then rinse under tap water, followed by 1 more minute in bleach, then rinse, soak in dechlorinated water and rinse again.

Use the bleach outside and wear safety glasses, rubber gloves and a plastic apron to stop bleach getting on your clothes.
