I'll say this and I will leave it alone because I am trying to help, not argue what "cleaner will properly clean" I made this video for the sole purpose of being a cheap inexpensive way to clean your tank. People will market anything they can make a dollar on. I'm sure other cleaners are fine to use and I would use them myself and nothing against them at all but bleach will take care of the problem 99% of the time. It is considered one of the powerful disinfectants. We can argue all day about bacteria building up resistance to bleach. Once again, THIS IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY. Why do bacteria build up resistance? Because antibiotics are made to attack the proteins and different parts of a cell, the bacteria forms memory from certain parts of the memory cell to block the certain isotopes the antibiotic is trying to bind to the cell wall of the bacteria with. Bleach isn't a antibiotic and DOES NOT function like one except for a few exceptions. It is a powerful disinfectant that kills germs differently than how antiseptics and antibiotics do. Can bacteria build up resistance to bleach? Yes I'm sure there is a few. A strain of black mold is one. But I do not have super bacteria in my tank.
Now I will say this. Did I clean my tank wrong? No, I don't think i did. Do you guys clean your tank wrong? No, I don't think you do. It is a matter of opinion. This method I use is absolutely fine, It gets the job done. It is obtuse and pointless to argue how bad of a job I did cleaning because I used bleach and not some super cleaner that is made for tanks. If bleach didn't work on most things they wouldn't sell a million gallons of it. My snake is healthy, My tank is clean, and I have had no problems. I mean all that with the most utmost respect for you guys that disagree with my method, to each is own. We all share a hobby, we love our balls, and it is nice we have a place to come and enjoy each others company atNo hard feelings.
