Since I'm diving head first back into the hobby I decided to set up a mixing station in the garage. I got some plastic water storage tanks but they previously held bleach, will this be an issue? I pressure washed both of them out but worried about leaching. I really want to use these since I already have them cleaned and the mixing station close to being set up but don't want to run into issues later on. Thanks!

I do not think it will be an issue. I’d fill them up with fresh water and let them sit for a day and drain them out. Then test them for bleach.

They sell bleach/chlorine test kits about everywhere. This will give you peace of mind. Best of luck!
