I don't doubt that salt works well. I was afraid you'd have trouble washing it all out. But I guess thats what the second bleaching is for. I did bleach a tank once. I poured in bleach until I couldn't stand the smell and had to leave the room. I let in run all day and then did what i described (drain, let it dry out until all the gravel was dry). The disease didn't recur. I still don't know what is was, but i was sure I didn't want it back.
