I recently purchased a very used 125 gallon tank with all of the equipment for a salt-water tank. It's all covered in Coral....remains? Needs a cleaning very badly. I'm starting to clean it all today, and this is my inventory so far:
Tank, glass with two VERY large valved inlets/outlets going into what looks like an overflow "basket".
Tons of PVC pipes, broken down into 4-5 main pieces.
A separate smaller tank, maybe 20 gallons or so. Divider down the middle (3 piece) so that water can flow through, but obviously not....something else.
Baldor "Reeflo Dart" sump pump, with long valved pipe/hoses connected.
Magnum 350 filter system
Another much larger canister filter looking object. HUGE
Aqua Medic UV Filter
3 ballast
I'm scrapping the stand, as it was made of some sort of MDF or particle board, I just dont trust it. I'll make a new one this weekend. I'll also need to purchase lights, which I'm sure will be pricey. Other than that, I'm lost. I've kept non-sump freshwater tanks my whole life, but this is all new.
Does anyone have any resources they'd suggest? Do the provided pieces seem typical? What parts are missing? Any help would be really appreciated. I'm looking forward to the project, but I'm clueless. Thanks!
