Is a 10 to 1 bleach solution enough? I was thinking salt water may do it. I want to get it back up and running ASAP.

Thanks!
 
The bleach solution would work, just make sure to soak everything in a good dechlorinator afterwards so that the bleach is neutralized.

As for the tank itself, I would just wash is down with salt water so that the silicone doesn't soak up the bleach or become brittle from the corrosiveness of the bleach. Then of course rinse very well.
 
Thanks I'm soaking in hot salt water now. Leaving it till water cools the rinsing. If only I could do that do the sick fish! Lol
