2021 was a disastrous year for my fowler tank. Usually I'm good with quarantining a new fish; in 2021 I was a bit reckless. W/o proper medication & quarantine process, I dropped that fish in my main display 90G tank. Boom, a few weeks later all my fish were sick with ick & Uronema. The fish I bought was visibly healthy w/o any signs of stress or disease.
By the time I caught the infection, it was already too late. I lost all my fish. Anyways that was last year, it's a new beginning.
I thought of giving up my 90gal Fowler & focus on my 40G breeder tank for reef. However, a thought ran my mind that I've spent my time/money and effort on my fowler tank. So, I'm thinking to reboot.
Before reboot, I would like to sanitize the tank. I can cure the rock with bleach for two weeks. Can I pour bleach in the tank? I've heard uronema requires only wet surface to stay alive indefinitely. Would bleach cause any issue to the silicon? If I add bleach, I'm assuming I would have to add dechlorinator to make sure bleach is remove from the tank, right?
Any help would be super helpful...
