I keep a five gallon bucket of bleach water on hand. All the small stuff that fits goes for a dunk before use. I keep a spray bottle of bleach water for spraying the bigger stuff. I keep a bottle of 1 to 10 3% hydrogen peroxide on hand to spray the top of any media when I see brown/green algae or white mold/fungus. If the media has been damp on top and humidity is high, I will do a preventative spray.
