?tips on flushing for taste and smell?

We are using 150 gal stock tanks, we have fitted the drain spout with a hose connection. 6 nice plants per trough. The bottom 3" is gravel and we have installed two PVC pipes with holes drilled in bottom 5" for aeration. I would assume we will flush with lots of clean H2O. Any secrets would be nice-Thanks!!!
