Habitat - Indoor :: Help! Can I use 5% bleach to clean my RES's tank?

[freehes]

My husband and I were wondering if we can use a solution of 5% bleach and 95% water to clean our turtle's tank? We have MANY little white worms in the water that I heard are harmless (still don't really know where they are coming from) so we need to know the best way to kill them and clean his tank. Thank you for any advice/suggestions.

Yes you can absolutly

bleach may also help with the odour

You may use bleach. Just make sure you rinse the tank really well and let all the
bleach evaporate before putting water back into the tank.

Safer method would be to use diluted white vinegar (mix 1:1 with water).
