Hi. I was disinfecting my tank with bleach after an outbreak and made the mistake of using scented bleach rather than regular bleach. I've only bleached the tank so far in diluted water. How should i go about cleaning the scented bleach off the tank?
 
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.
