It looks like I'm picking up a 50 or 55 tonight I found in the want ads. It's up and running but in nasty shape, with a mess of algae like I've never seen. He admits its neglicted, but that why hes ditching it so cheap. I'm getting all his rock, which actually is very nice and covered in coraline, four or five corals (polyps, hammer, leathers etc.) the 50 gal tank and filter etc, for 100 bucks. I figured this would be the easiest way to get my lionfish tank up and running. Anyways, since the tank walls are so nasty, I'm thinking of putting all the corals in my current tank, getting rid of all the water, scrubbing down the rock and walls, and starting over from scratch. Seeing as all of this is established, how much of a cycle do you think I'll end up having?
