WET Fish Pellets
Hello Fellow Reefers,
This morning, as I was about to feed my fish, I managed to drop a brand new 150 gram container of NLS Marine Formula 1mm pellets in a bucket of top-off water. You see, I am more than a little uncoordinated in the morning!.... Anyway, there are pellets floating everywhere, wet pellets on the floor and a pellet container floating, half submerged! I take the container out of the bucket, strain the water out and manage to save about 2/3 of the pellets. I spread them on a couple of trays; some of them are clumping together. Now my kitchen is very aromatic! My question to you is: is it even worth trying to dry them? Will they be useable after drying? I hate wasting food, whether human or fish.... My kitchen stinks to high heaven; I think I am about to hurl!...

Toss. You will start to grow bacteria/molds if the food gets any humidity on it.

It sucks to chuck $12 worth of food away, but I agree with Albert it is not worth keeping. My pond food got wet once and never dried out, was mushy, sunk and eventually it started growing some mold/fungus on it.
If you really want to keep it, maybe put it on a cookie sheet in the oven and dry them out completely. Just a thought, no idea if it will work. JV

Great idea Madmak! I tried to dry them at room temperature, but some are still damp/clumping. I'll try freezing the ones that are in OK shape; that way they'll last me until the next BRS order. I just realized it was a 300 gram container...
