I have been seeding dry rock for almost a year now. I plan on adding them to my display tomorrow or this weekend. I have had purigen and phosguard packs in the water for over a month now to help remove phosphates, etc. I opened the bin today and noticed the purigen pack broke and had the beads everywhere in thr tank. Is this going to be a bad thing as the purigen could be in the rock now. Should I shake them off in a bucket of SW before adding to tank?

All the white specs are purigen.

I would not feed my fish and inverts the beads. I would remove them somehow off all the rock.
