Ok so with your help I built a 55 gallon tank 6 years ago (thank you). Well through my life and divorce and such I moved it to my dads house. Well he maintained it great and so I left it and let him have his fun. Well he started traveling and with that the tank suffered. Well last night the last fish we had passed and it was sad because it was the first I bought 6 years ago. So I am going to take the tank to my house and rebuild it and get it back going. My question is how is the best way?
It has flat worms and it has some hitch hikers and some alge and some other stuff that I don’t want to start a tank with. With the tank having 60lb of rock I don’t really want to throw it away and buy new. So how do I kill everything on the rocks so I can start over?
Also the power heads are 6 years old and so is the skimmer and all components. There is some stray voltage when I tested the water. So do I start over with new components or can I reuse most or the stuff in he tank.
The sand is trashed as well so I will be getting new live sand. Probably a new heater just for peace of mind as well. New lights as those were pretty old
Just need advice on starting over
