If you used bleach you should rinse it out ridiculously well, including a few rinses with a liberal amount of dechlorinator. I would think that doing that and adding dechlorinator to your water when you fill it should take care of it.

I'd rinse the livin' crap out of it and then fill it, way overdose some dechlor, and let it sit for a few hours.
