don't thaw them in water like your tank because they are very oily its better to while frozen break off the needed amount of them then thaw them in a floating in a plastic baggie in a separate cup of warm water

I just break off a chunk and thaw it in some tank water. I have not seen any ill effects from this. I dont understand why you would thaw them in a seperate container, they go right into the tank anyways.
