I'd just do a long rinse with a hose

ive had it soaking in the tub for like 2 hours now
anyone else think i should just spray it off?

that salt might be good for those cichlids, i hope you have african rift cichlids in your tank.

i would let it sit for a couple days if you have a sizeable quantity as all the microorganisms will die off.

Let it soak and then rinse and scrub. Will be fine after that. If your really concerned you can soak it in a 10% bleach solution then rinse very well.

I would spray it off, and dump it in some boiling water.
