Until the yolk gets hard... ;-) Just kidding, I just added some rocks to my set up as well and I was told to boil them for 10 minutes. They have been in there for about a week now and I havent had problems.

you can also use a mild bleach solution and then put them in a tub of water and add dechlor.

Usually rocks from the home depot or landscape shops i just rinse and throw in, but I guess I'm brave.
