Just picked up a sweet score for my camp- 125 gallon Moeller poly tank.
Pressure washed it the best I could but can't access top part on the inside. There is definitely algae/ dirt but it canne scrubbed.
I'm filling the tank up now with half gallon of bleach.
Anybody have any other ideas on what to add?
Water will be used for shower, sink etc

I use this gizmo and it works pretty good. I have a 325 gallon tank on a trailer that I haul water in, then pump it in the cabin with 12 volt system powered with solar. I don't have to clean the tank very often, but I use it to pump water from the tank thru the pump back into the tank and sometimes add a small bleach tablet. Basically recirculating and aerating the water which keeps it fresh and helps control algae.
It also helps the tank from freezing by keeping the water moving until it gets below freezing for several days.
