I know that this might sound stupid of me, but my city is having fall clean-up, so my mom and dads neighbors put out a couple of tanks (2 10 gallons). They were complete setups, so I figured that I would pick them up. Heck, you can't beat free 
I brought them home and cleaned out the 10 gallon hex and set it up in my bedroom. After I filled it up with water, I noticed a very very strong bleach smell, it was so bad that it burned your nose. I asked my boyfriend to smell it just to see if it was just me, and he smelled it too.
Is there anything that I can do to get rid of the bleach or should I just throw the tank out? There is nothing in it except water, gravel and the filter that came with it. It's no skin off my back if I need to get rid of them. Just wanna know if there is anything that I can do. Will tons of declorinator work? Or do I just need to very heavily wash the tank with hot water?
