Aquarium Advice Newbie
hello all, i have never set up a salt water aquarium before but i am wanting to fianlly set one up with fish and a reef. I have a 35 gallon tank that i bought new 2 years ago but hasnt seen water ever. Also i have a buddy i work with who had a sw aquarium but went to collage and when he came back... well to say the least it has seen better days so he is going to sell me all the equipment for it there is still rocks in it and i am not shure of the condition of them i know there is still water in the tank but it isnt full so i dont know if the filter and everything is running so if the rocks were just sitting in water with no filtration would i still be able to reuse the rocks.
I was also curious as too exacly what equipment is required i have been reading up as much as i can and i know i need proper lighting a filter or two and a hydrometer and test equipment, i am not shure if i need a protein skimmer or a sump?
I have a 10g that i could use as a sump or a QT which ever one is more importent
any advise and as much of it as possible is very much appreciated so thany you in advance.
