How long do I soak it for? And if I soak it for a few weeks do I need to boil it still? Or do soaking it just waterlog it. Also I'm thinking of eventually putting something in my 12 gallon that eats algae, I'm mainly thinking of some inverts, since its too small for a pleco, and I've heard oto's like to school and I don't have room in there for that. Is their any algea eating fish that would fit in there or would, a few snails and shrimp be best. All helps greatly appreciated. Thanks!
