I have used bleach for years whenever I felt serializing was necessary, but I do not use enormous amounts, only a quarter cup for thirty gallon of water and I filled and emptied the tank three times before setting it up again. I used ‘Start Right’ which removes chlorine from the water and now will let it set a week. Chlorine bleach is the only thing I know of for certain that will kill fungus. I will have the new tank syndrome to contend with but that can’t be help. I do dislike having to disinfect a tank this way but feel I have nothing to lose at this point. Chlorine will evaporate from the water also. I know that I destroyed beneficial bacterial in the gravel bed and that’s the reason I do not used this method too often.
I'll keep you inform as I purchase new fish, and thanks for the advice.
