leaving cathodes in ano tank?

[Sid03]

So, you guys leave the cathodes in the tank or not? Ive noticed that after I clean them and then stick them in the tank to use next time, I white layer will burn off the cathodes and collect at the bottom of my tank. I normally just dip them in the neutralizer, rinse, and let sit until next time I ano. Im wondering if it would be ok to just let them in the ano tank?

I pull my aluminum cathodes, but leave lead cathodes in the tank. Aluminum tends to corrode, turning black, much quicker than lead. I've left lead cathodes in the tank for over 8 months without any noticeable corrosion.
