Cleaning (sterilizing) a qt

[b0bab0ey]

OK, so long story short I have around 24 hrs to get a QT ready for another fish. The s/w for it is already mixed but my problem is I just had an Ich infestation in it that wiped everything out. Normally I would just clean this tank/equipment with vinegar and then let everything air dry for a few days. Do I need to soak everything in bleach solution for about an hour? Will that kill any/all Ich?

Opinions? Suggestions??

Fw ich & SW ich will not live in each others environment, so I would use FW & vinegar for as long as possible then rinse well.

Thanks. I think I'm going to fill the tank with a 10:1 tap water to vinegar solution, and let it sit for an hour or so. I'll throw all the equipment in there as well. I'd really like to do a 10:1 tap to bleach solution, but I just don't think I can safely get all the bleach out without letting it air dry. Guess I'll just have to chance it. :uhoh2:

Fish stores used to bleach dead corals all the time, they just used PLENTY of chlorine remover.
