When I was young, my parents kept a 55 gallon FW tank. When we moved in 2000, most of it got packed up and never taken out of boxes again...until now.
My question is, can any of this stuff be safely reused in a fresh setup? If so, how do make this stuff safe for reuse?
I've still got the 55 gallon tank from the 90s and a 10 gallon tank as well. If my 6 gallon tank goes well, I'm thinking about putting some effort into finding a place for the 10 and 55 gallon tanks. So if I can reuse some of this stuff, then that saves me a decent chunk of change.
In addition to this stuff, we also found boxes of old mason jar canister filters, pumps, carbon and ammo remover, hob filter, power nozzles, water heaters, and substrate. This stuff was so old and crusty it didn't seem worth saving.
