Tank Is Back Up

[joshrm115]

After the bleach incident I finally got my tank back to running condition. My Ammo is at zero the chlorine is at zero and the nitrite is at zero. I put in 2 small gold fish in to see if the any bleach was left my fingers are crossed .......

oh! what happend with bleach? and how did u test for chlorine?
its normal to get 0 readings if there are no fish in the tank, but you say you have put 2 goldfish in to "see" ? so if there is bleach, what will happen to the goldfish?

History, he had illness and sterilized his tank with a gallon of bleach. The problem would be getting it thoroughly enough rinsed out.

By the time it was refilled, the small amount of bleach left would have been diluted enough that it shouldn't cause any harm. To be safe, I always use a double dose of water conditioner.

Even if they were feeders, I'm not sure using them as checking if there is bleach left is humane, thats almost like being asked to drink some sulfuric acid, just to check that it is actually sulfuric acid..

I have to ask, what about filtration? You're going to need a cycled filter otherwise you're going to be setting yourself up for more probs pretty quick.
There's plenty posts here about cycling and they say it much better than I could.
