Marinepure question

I just broke down a tank lost to algae.
Had a bunck of Marinepure blocks in there (which are now stored in a QT tank).
The surfaces are clean.
Is there some sort of cleansing ritual for them?
Do I just dump them?
Are they safe to transfer to another tank?
Any info appreciated.

Does MarinePure plug up and how do I clean it?

If used in an active filtration system we do recommend good mechanical filtration in front of the media and your media will resist plugging. If you do need to clean the media, just give it a good dunking in tank water, or a rinse with tank water. It can also be cleaned and sterilized using a 7%hydrogen peroxide solution, soaked overnight, if necessary.

I’ve been running marine pure behind filter socks, skimmer, and refugium for 8 months now. I haven’t had to clean it yet. No visible detritus build up. I attribute the cleanliness to two things, the mechanical filtration and pods doing their thing...

Thanks guys.
Not worried about the cleanliness, they look like new. They did come out of a crashed tank so I was wondering if I might introduce something detrimental if I put them in a stable tank.
