Best way to rid tank of algae spores

[sundance2011]

I am redoing my 80G saltwater tank. Everything is out and I am cleaning it. What is the best way to clean and kill any algae and algae spores left in the tank or will just cleaning very well and letting it dry do that? Is Clorox bleach the best way to clean the tank (since I can use one of the various water treatment products to neutralize any residual bleach)?

Thanks

you can use white vinegar as well... thats a little bit safer also. but scrubbing it thoroughly and drying it would probably do the trick

+1 on the white vinegar. Just fill up the tank with water and add a gallon of vinegar, then let it soak in for a day. Once you empty tue tank the algae will wash right off.

Yep, both methods will work...I've also boiled my rocks before.
