Hey there.........new member from NH...........for those who are familiar with my meet n greet thread........I took the new wifes "failed"/dead tank........and decided to do a quick turnaround on it.
Originally it was a present from me a few years back before marriage.......she set it up on her own.......tossed in some live rock a few fishes and some clean up crew critters. An SCA 50g starphire cube with back center overflow with 3 1" bulkheads........2 drains and a single return......basic plumbing.......a 32w fluval led light and whatever SCA sent for a skimmer/sump/return pump......soft lines etc........love the tank.......rest was.....
"meh"......in my book.......needless to say......instead of filtered freshwater topping off.......she added straight saltwater everyday.........stuff died.......n tank was shut down.......rock n sand stayed in stagnant super salt water for MONTHS.........fast forward another year.......we get married.......she has her family comin over......and i decided to recucitate the dead tank. So this is my rebuild thread.......
