How much bleach would you say?

I had to quarantine a diseased fish about 2 months ago, and never took the time to disinfect it. It and the equipment I used have just been sitting in my basement. I'm going to need to use it soon and was wondering how much cleaning needs to be done since its been dry for two months.

Update: He's looking horrible! His spine looks curved and he's swimming sideways and gasping at the bottom. I dont think he's going to make it. I've been adding medicine like directed and the ammonia in the qt tank isnt high so I havent changed the water.

Thanks for the help. He's in QT and i'm treating him with maracyn 2. His fungus looks smaller already. How should I go about doing water changes(nh4 is >.25) and disenfecting the bucket I used to acclimate him in?

Ack....I think he might have ich too. He's got a white cottony growth on his forehead x.x

I noticed last night that one of my glowlight tetras has popeye. You can definitely tell because well......both of his eyes are popped out of the sockets. They're not cloudy though....which is what the other symptom is correct? I dont think it's gotten to be that bad(at least I hope not) and...

Quick update: NH4-.25 NO3-0 So ammonia is still there...hopefully it'll go away soon. EDIT: the cloud has also cleared up completely

I didnt replace any sponges just washed everything in aquarium water, except the filter boxes which I first rinsed in aquarium water, then with tap. But I dried it thoroughly.

Close to 40%. And yes, seachem prime. I checked my params...NH4 and NO2 were at .25 and NO3 was at 10. all over the place...think its because I cleaned my filters? And the cloud isnt heavy, but you can notice it.

For the past two days my tank has been cloudy. I dont think it's a bacterial bloom or anything like that. And it's not cloudy enough that you cant see, but cloudy enough to notice. I noticed it when I got home yesterday, so I did a water change and cleaned my filter also(since I figured that's...

They're right. Your HOB should provide enough surface agitation without the bubbler. I recently put mine away, it was too noisy. But now my tank is nice and quiet. :D

I'm gonna be getting another tank soon, and since I have 2 filters running on my 29 gallon(A top fin 30 and a Aquaclear 50) i'd like to save a little money and just put the top fin on the new aquarium. However, there's a problem. I have diatoms in my tank right now, and I dont want them to get...
