Regular Member number20121 Posted October 20, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted October 20, 2010 Yes, as far as I remember a solution of 1 part bleach and 10 parts water works well. Just rinse everything really good with clear water afterward to make sure you got no bleach residue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ashlee18 Posted October 21, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted October 21, 2010 Whenever I use bleach. I make sure to fill up the tank multiple times before letting it air dry. Just to make sure that there isn't anything hiding in the nooks and crannies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member amynmitchell Posted October 21, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted October 21, 2010 I use bleach fairly regularly, but you do have to be extra careful in the rinsing and use triple times the amount of declor before putting the fish in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike and Linda Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Should I run the whole tank with everything in it or bleach everything separately? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member amynmitchell Posted October 21, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted October 21, 2010 I run it through with everything going. Don't be surprised if it foams up a bit...that is normal. I don't run it for more than thirty minutes to an hour before rinsing it as bleach can weaken the silicone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
