It was suggested that I put bleach in my water to kill what ever is growing in there, then to rinse it all out and use new water.
Reading up on chlorine bleach it seems that it only takes a very little and I'm talking like a teaspoon or less of bleach in 5 gal of water to kill all the algae.
So my question is what would be the harm in adding a teaspoon of bleach to the water and just leaving it in there to keep the water algae free.
