I assume that your chlorine source produces 650 mgm of available chlorine
per Kg of powdered salt (whichever one you have) so to sterilise you would
add 1Kg of your powder to 3 litres of water if my limited maths is correct.
if you check back through the archives of the RML there was a thread some
time back on this subject and an American Vet quoted a source which
advocated using al;cohol after the chlorine treatment to rinse out the tank
as well.
It is a very difficult "bug" to eradicate - you have my sympathy
