I am not at all concerned about algae growth. The concerns are mold and bacteria. They can grow amazingly quickly in the dark. Once growth starts, regular chlorinated water is not sufficient. Growth can become rapid in unchlorinated water and in previously chlorinated water. The chlorine dissipates pretty quickly even in a mostly sealed RV water tank. As I remember the half life is only a week or so.
Pipes and plumbing lack adequate amounts of food and oxygen for mold to grow.

I agree with the time frame being overdone. You only need it to sit an hour or two at max.
Chlorinating liquid is usually used at a level of 52-100 ounces per 10,000 gallons in pools and is added every 24 hours. More than that can damage liners, etc. I personally wouldn't use more than an ounce or two for an 80 gallon tank. In that concentration, it will clean up any growth in the tank as well as it does in the pool.

while bleach is a good and quick way to sanitize, getting the bleach smell and taste out of the system, especially since some of the materials absorb the bleach to some degree, I don't use bleach.
