Hello. I believe i may have used the wrong bleach product to disinfect my tank after an outbreak. The bleach product i have contains sodium hypochlorite 4.2%, and sodium hydroxide 0.9%. The bleach is also scented lemon. If i keep rinsing the tank will the tank eventually be clean?
 
Rinse thoroughly. Dilution will be key. Refill and let water sit in there overnight which has 5x concentration of water conditioner. If there is any residue from the perfumed bleach left over, it should leave a film on the water surface. Rinse and repeat if needed if you see any film.

Make sure you have activated carbon in the filter when you start it up, and a double dose of conditioner.
