I will soon be moving, and I am in the process of cleaning out my tanks.
My planted 55 has been emptied, but has the remains of a blue-green algae
infestation in it.  I was going to bleach it, but I noticed on the Krib
that bleach is the preferred weapon against red algae, and won't
necessarily work well against blue-green.  I've used erythromicin in the
past, and but the BGA has always come back (besides, its already packed).

Is bleaching the tank worth doing?  Any other suggestions?
