Cleaning Instructions - Russian Box Tortoise

Hello,
I hope you can help me with a question. My son has a Russian Box Tortoise. The tortoise is kept in a 30 gallon aquarium with pellet bedding. We are wondering if there are any cleaning chemicals that are safe to use when cleaning the aquarium. I understand that salmonella is possible around tortoises and I'd feel better is we could occasionally use some kind of antibacterial spray or someting when cleaning out the tank.

Is a diluted bleach solution an option. Our primary goal is to not harm the tortoise in any way, so your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Also, the pet shop advised us to NOT put water in the tank, but to soak him every 2 or three days. This seems to be working fine, but wanted to double check.
Thank You
