Used Marine Pure

[Theo15]

I didn't have an issue.
It dries out / evaporates

It does ,I would just make sure it's completely dry

Hold on guys , isn't vinegar a carbon source for bacteria , if your putting USED marine pure in a vinegar bath won't that cause the bacteria to multiply like crazy ?
IMO you should put it in a tub, wash it in fresh water and let it c completely dry out in the sun for a couple days , adding that to your mature system even after the vinegar bath could cause a bacteria bloom and even be toxic to your coral and fish , marine pure stays wet for hours and is very porous

Will a week work? Will this kill the bacteria if it's dried completely out?

And would it just be safe to wait and add it to my new tank in like 5-6 months? Because that's why I bought it anyways. Then it will for sure be dry and I'll just store it until?

If you leave it out in the sun for a week, I would think you'll be fine.

I would just add that I would let it dry out from the Vinegar completely, then soak it in the RO water with powerhead for a few hours, blowing straight through it. Marine Pure holds double its weight of fluid when removed from liquids. So you don't want to bring all that contaminated water directly over to rinsing it. Especially if it was used by someone else. You said "used", so be extra careful if it came from someone else's tank.
