Hi all,
Don't blanch it, and you can leave it in until it goes soft and slimy.

Never blanched mine, and left it in the tank over night. Good luck.
Never give up until you have released your unused capacities for service and shared your gift with others. One enkindled spirit can set hundreds on fire.

Blanch for as short as possible to retain as many nutrients (maybe 2-3 minutes?). I microwave 3 slices for about 3 minutes in some water, and put in cold water to ensure they will sink; I blanch so they zuchinni will sink without need of a weight.
Yes, remove excess next morning/day.
