Around 6 months ago I had a fish in QT die of ich. I rinsed everything and it basically sat in the garage until now since its a lot of equipment i can use. I had everything soak in water/distilled white vinegar for around 6hrs and rinsed. Aside from the allowing to dry entirely for a few days would this stuff be ready for use again? Or other procedure I should do? Also can you use distilled white vinegar to clean a protein skimmer has gunk in an area i cant get to.
