I've used soda before, but I thought that calcium carbonate was used more as
a buffer than as a quick fix.

:D I soak mine in a mixture of bleach, and water for 24 hrs, then put it
through several freshwater 24hr soakings spaced out byshort drying
periods. When placing it in the tank, you might still have to weight it
down, a baggy filled with tankgravel ect, attached with a plastic tie
wrap works well.
