My no longer tank

[likemike99]

So this was my tank. My wife is in the military and we had to unexpectedly move to Alaska. I had to sell all the livestock dirt cheap due to short timing of the move. Anyway I had to put my stuff in storage while in Alaska. We are now in Seattle area. When I unpacked it all most of my electronics rusted out. I had tried to make sure I freshwater washed everything but I guess when it is in storage for 2 years, you have to expect some loss. Anyway. My lights are still good. and I have a red sea max C-skim (not sure of function). What recommendations would you guys make in the order of buying new stuff? I was thinking return pump first, then heater, then circ pumps. I figured I would just have an empty tank for a while just top make sure the tank holds up. they buy my testing equiptment.

You had a very nice reef. I'd get things according to deals I found on equipment needed. Never hurts to save a few bucks.

can you buy corals from US vendors in Alaska? or is it not allowed because they'd have to cross the Canadian border?

I'd first buy and start cycling dry rock.
Then spend that time collecting equipment for the display.

Check out sales on local Seattle forums / reef clubs.
