Full of water. Those rocks sure are dusty.
I'm going to start with however many 95% water changes of tap water it takes with power heads and closed loop at full blast to get rid of the dust. Will then sit for a week with tap water and some lanthanum chloride, followed by another week, at least, in rodi also with lanthanum chloride followed by as close to 100% water change as possible with saltwater and will begin cycle.
I've got a two small convict tangs, a 12 inch sohal, a 6 inch unicorn, a scopas, and some damsels hanging out in the sump waiting for their new home to be up and running. They just graduated from quarentine today.
In my other tank (125 gallon) I have a red sea sailfin, powder blue, a purple, and a yellow tang, also a foxface, a flame and coral beauty angel a few Mandarins, and some damsels and clowns. It has gotten a bit crowded in there in anticipation of having this new tank up and running a bit sooner. They will all be moving.
I'm debating what to do with an emperor angel I have in another sump atm. This large tank will be a mixed reef, I might give the emperor a try or I might convert my 125 to a fowlr.
The sohal was a model citizen in quarentine and lets me pet it. It outgrew someone else's tank.
All fish were treated prophylactically for ick and velvet before they entered either system, although I'll throw some black mollys into both systems before I mix them to be sure.
