Can citric acid be used to clean frag plugs? I know it’s fine on equipment, wondering if it is inert once dry on more porous items like plugs.

(Accidently cleaned a plug with it and it looks pristine- assuming it’s safe but wanted to run it thru here first)

Hey there! Sorry to reply like this, but I’m not sure how else to reach you. I’m not able to send you a private message here.
I saw your post on SDReefs about the equipment, however my SDReefs account hasn’t been activated yet so I can’t post there at all lol.

Rinse it off and it’s fine. :)
