Re: Using bleach

[Pjeversman at aol_com]

One part bleach to nine parts water left for  a period  of ten hours will 
produce high level disinfection.  It is about as close to sterilization as 
you can get without an autoclave for home use.
Items to be disinfected must be totally immersed in the solution for the 
entire time,  If lesser levels of disinfection are desired, the time can be 
shortened.  However, if you are trying to eliminate a known pathogen from a 
tank, I would recommend using the entire time, or even leaving it for 24 full 
hours.  Remember to also disinfect all contaminated items that might transmit 
pathogens to the new setup.
