Ya I'm not going to take any risk. Once the waters gone I'll clean the container and everything that was in it with bleach. As I don't know if its black algae or if it could be mold.

It is RODI water mixed with fluval salt. It has been left stagnant in the container.

I would throw a powerhead in it or at least a pump and airstone.

Yeah fresh water is usually fine to leave standing for a while but salt I always run a powerhead. Even in my ato res I run a powerhead just to be safe.

I'd clean it with vinegar instead of bleach.

bleach would be best, let the container dry for at least 24 hours after
