Warm or hot water will make it sink faster, boiling is likely to lead to it breaking down faster. ^_^ Current [link=Contest Rules]http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/Aquascaping/44382.html?200412022138" style="COLOR: #EB4288[/link][/font]

The only reason to soak it is to get the tannic acids out, which tint the water and effect pH and GH. I usually don't mind these things, so I only give them a good rinse then in the tank they go.
