So this was just given to me today. Sat in a shed for several years then in an apartment for 6 months. Was originally used for freshwater.Was told it is an oceanic 70 gallon.

And a journey has begun ! I'd def say that sump needs an upgrade !!

Get the white vinegar running !
 
Also need to find a spot other than the "junk room" where I put it for now. Also trying to decide if it will be a second tank or if i am going to move everything from the 38 gallon over to it
 
Got the sump cleaned out .It took some work , the guy i got it from had it in his living room and i guess his cats were sleeping in it and the tank . Lots of cat hair and hairballs (which are disgusting to clean up btw). Now to get a someone to help me move the tank outside so i can get that clean. It's funny how people say give me a call if you need help then arent available when you have to move a heavy as heck tank,
 
Got it outside ..leak testing and cleaning...........first tank with a sump took a minute to get the water level adjusted. Didn't realize how noisy this was going too be. Makes me have to pee

Got it cleaned up and moved inside finally. Had a few guys from work help me. The tank is scratched up inside on the front and both sides. Is there a way to remove the scratches from the glass?
