Chlorine and Bleach are very similar chemically speaking, and dechlorinator does the same on bleach as it does on Chlorine. If done correctly, you do not have to worry about Bleach leaching back into the water after the tank is setup again. Best of luck, hope everything goes as planed.
Thank you very much. Finally someone who thought this through without just bashing me.
This method is not for the faint of heart and if not done correctly can lead to bad problems down the road. It's not hard to do, just very time consuming. I think that is where most people would/could fail. I see people every day who can't even wait for their tank to cycle.
You guys are going to freak out when I show you how this thing will be cycled but it's almost a garunteed way to eliminate the possibility of an algae bloom. No lights will be on this tank for close to 3 months. Like I said very time consuming but the end result is much more reliable.
With all that said NOTHING can replace good husbandry and water quality.
