Hello friends, I used bleach for sand and added half a liter of bleach to 6 liters of water. My bleach is 5% chlorine, sodium hydroxide, and sodium hypochlorite. Is it appropriate for how long the sand should lie there to be cleaned?

No, I'm still in the cleaning phase, I haven't added sand to the tankWas there an issue to begin with? At that concentration everything died immediately.
I do the same thing, I wash several times with ro/di water and after that I use anti-chlorine and dry the sand completely until the smell is completely removed, I hope this works.Rinse thoroughly and let dry for a few days to make sure bleach is gone. I never did that when starting out though.
Misread. I do not use your method. I just rinsed and added. No bleach.I do the same thing, I wash several times with ro/di water and after that I use anti-chlorine and dry the sand completely until the smell is completely removed, I hope this works.

1 hours, then rinse with many liters of tap water, final rinse with DI and let it dry. If you remove the cloudy fines, If present during the tap water rinse your tank and sand will sparkle instead of Haboob-like cloudiness.Hello friends, I used bleach for sand and added half a liter of bleach to 6 liters of water.
