with the comment:


i think I'll just dump the media out and reload with new, no need to spend the time testing for leeching and i can't seam to find anything on the baking the media so it'll just add to the growing pile in the back yard
It would have been an interesting test, to see what your spent GFO did in a small fresh batch of salt water for a few weeks to see if it did leach back. I might have to try this next time. I'm curious.
