Jul 13, 2020 at 22:27 comment added lila Oh okay it's fine, I just wanted to tell you and make sure you're well aware of the potential risks, just in case, because some people don't know about it. It's just my personal opinion - I've read about cases of people accidentally having fatally poisoned their fish and I would never use it nor advise using it because I would go insane worrying about potential risks. And yes, I've read many times on the Internet that people are using it for aquarium cleaning without ill effects - I guess it's okay as long as it is a conscious choice, so that you are aware and know what you are doing.
Jul 13, 2020 at 22:05 comment added Bastien @lila, thanks for your comment, but without getting into an argument here, actually bleach is super toxic, yes, but only for a short period of time. It breaks down quickly into basic none-toxic compounds. I've used it for many years in many situations, the important things is always to let it dry and sit for at least a day (but I always wait longer) before using what you cleaned with it.
Jul 13, 2020 at 21:20 comment added lila Hi, just as a side comment because I'm a bit worried - bleach is extremely toxic to all aquatic life; I would completely avoid using bleach for cleaning anything meant to be used in aquarium setting, I would never use any equipment or decorations cleaned with it even if they seemed to be well flushed with water afterwards. I'm not regarding your main question - let's wait for experts to do it, I'm not an expert.

I added metric units for convenience, fixed typos, increased clarity by splitting the large paragraph in half.
