Can I reuse pH alert tabs with TTM?

[pacificdiver]

Is there any problem with reusing ammonia alerts (Seachem) when doing TTM, as long as it's completely dried out between transfers? I did not want to bleach it, because I figured that might damage the sensor pad, but some sources say drying is really what kills everything off. Should I be ok if I dry it for 48 hrs?

Thanks in advance.

I would let it dry for 48hrs minimum. Seachem advised me that you can reuse them but it may take several days for the badge to read correctly. So it may not be of much use to you in TTM if it won't read correctly for a few days

Ammonia should not spike in the time frame of TTM (every 3rd day). If you have a large load, put in some prime on the 2nd day.

I would not reuse anything that hasn't been cleaned if doing the TTM. Even if you let it dry for 48hrs, you'd only be using it every third day. Like people said above, just use some Prime on the 3rd day if you are worried.
