I used to keep Salt water tanks till about 10 years ago so I'm not a complete noob. Bought a tank a few weeks ago.
So I finally get the new/used tank up plumbed and all. Had a bit of a family emergency so it took a few weeks.
I went to the LFS and was talking to the guy about filtration plans...
Thanks Fatman
Sounds like a good idea and being a Mason I actually have Muriatic Acid around.
The guy who had the tank before me was a bit of a no brainer guy. He didn't want to paint the back of the tank so he hung a piece of blue plexi glass on the back......WITH METAL HOOKS there are...
This rock has no life left on it It was outside for a couple years. I soaked it in fresh water for a few days to loosen any junk up and then shook it vigorously in one bucket to remove any junk then shook it in another bucket. Seems good now.
Thanks for the input
That was my thoughts also but my wife (who shows no interest in the hobby) felt I should bleach it and rinse it and de-chlorinate it.
Broke a plastic fitting on the sump so off to Home Depot tomorrow before I can get it set up.
Hi All
I'm an old time Saltwater keeper who's been out of it for about 10 years. Couple weeks ago I bought a used 75 gallon setup. Man what a mess, the guy never cleaned it.
So after a lot of elbow grease and collecting up some plumbing parts I'm bout ready to assemble this rig.
