Question: To keep the water barrels from getting scummy or worse, I'm
thinking of adding bleach -- not enough to render the water dangerous
to plants, but enough to keep it safe.

How much per 32 gal. trash can would fill that bill?

1 ts per 5 gallons.


Chlorine bleach evaporates quickly... "1 ts" won't do a whit and
within a couple hours it'll be like it was never there at all.


1 TS per 5 gallons is the USDA recommended amount to render clear water safe
for drinking. With only a 32G container (my fish tank is more than double
that) he's not storing it for long.


Your aquarium water is chlorinated, you're an idiot and a liar.

No, you have to declorinate fishtank water or you kill the fish.

You ok? You've been in a bad mood for days now.

Sheldon goes through his grumpy old man phases now and then as do we all.
He'll be OK again in due time.

Well as OK as Sheldon ever is. Having read him for at least 10 years
(probably more) I've become used to the way he is.

That is Secret Women's Business.

There are plenty of floods in NSW and there will be more to come until the
Little Girl retires for the year.

Yes, but most of the easter States ahve had soem flooding in some areas in
the past couple of months. We've had 'local' flooding in the nearest big
shopping town when the river went up a few weeks ago and there has been the
odd downpour that has resulted in roof damage/collapse etc. The town that
flooded was cut in half by flood waters and there are some spectacular logs
and vegetation around the place as a result of the flood. didnt' affect us
as I don't do all that much shopping and I could live out of my (big, well
stocked typical country) pantry for a month if need be.

According to a couple of sites I looked at, it is a half-teaspoon per 5
Gallons. But I doubt if will be a double dose, I
This does not add any trouble even a small amount of water.
