Help Appreciated About Bleached Rocks

[Hally]

Hi after getting some advice I bleached my aquariums rocks, they were stained with methylene blue. Now I soaked them in a mixture of water & a cup of house hold bleach for 4 days, then I washed them in fresh water & heres the trick (I was told) I put them out in the sun for a few days no they look great, but I'm nervouse about putting them in my tank. Will it be ok now, does anyone know. Thanks in advance.

They should be okay. Do they smell of bleach still? If you are smiply nervous, why not ease your mind, dump a bunch of dechlor in a bucket, add the rocks and presto! Chlorine bleach becomes dechlorniated and you sleep better.

Why not soak them in water with a gigantic quantity of dechlorinator?

edit... OK, Harlock of speedy fingers fame beat my post with a better worded answer. LOL.
