Awe Debs,

I'm so sorry about Little Trooper. Swim free little fella... image

Since we don't know exactly what the caused him to be so ill... nuking the tank to be safe would be best. If it is acrylic... you would use the 1 part bleach to 19 parts water solution. Let it sit for an hour or so and rinse, rinse, rinse. Then fill it back up with water and add a heavy dose of dechlorinator (at least10x the normal amt would be good) and let it sit for a few hours to overnight. Rinse really well again. Take a sniff - if you still smell bleach... then repeat the dechlorinator stage and rinse really well again till you don't smell any more bleach.

Again... I'm so sorry about Trooper. You did the best you could for him... I think he knew that... image
