I've recently bought a number of used items such as powerheads and heaters for my builds. In an effort to keep out diseases, I've treated them to a 1:9 bleach bath and have let them dry for the past few days. Is there anything else I should be doing? How long should I wait before putting them in my tanks? Algal buildup is not a concern, so I haven't dosed any items with citric acid, although I do have the supplies for that.
