Clean tank with bleach?

[Neodangerhunt]

I have an old 70 gallon that has had copper in it before and i was wondering what would be the best way to clean it. Someone told me bleach but i couldnt figure out how to get the bleach out. i plan on setting this up as a prop tank cause my corals are getting to big. If anyone knows what would be the best way to clean let me know. Thank you!

I would use simple Vinegar and water, and muscle grease.

bleach can simply dry out if you let it.

I know people that have had to use bleach to kill off everything in the tank because of ich and then started over

Bleach is fine to use. Just wash the tank out abotu 3 times with fresh water after using the bleach. After that fill the tank up with fresh water and add a whole bottle of that tap water dechlorinator. It will nutralize any bleach left over. Drain the tank and you are ready to go.

I don't think I would use the tank for inverts. I bought a used 160 gal tank and decided to move all my 135 gal reef into it for a bigger reef. Well the next morning all of my corals were looking bad, some had fell apart. I made a call to a friend that had alot of yrs experience. He asked if the tank had been coppered before. I replied,not sure. He said look at the silicone is it blue? it was.he told me to run a copper test on the water. Guess what I got a high copper reading. I had to dismantle the tank in a hurry before everything started soaking up the copper. I lost a couple hundred . The copper was leeching from the silicone. Do yourself a favor please test it for copper before adding inverts. JME.
