Hello everyone
I had a SW tank that I broke down and still have. Work got in the way of the upkeep and having learned from my mistakes I want to get back into reef keeping. I miss it too much. It's been empty for several years, my question is, is it safe to reuse to start reef keeping again? It's a Oceanic(yeah I know, that was one of my mistakes) 110g with two overflows. I would like to cut out the overflows, cover the holes on the bottom of the tank and install a slim overflow on the back of the tank. I would also like to remove the one foot center brace and make it a euro braced tank if possible. If not, I'm willing to get a newer tank or just leave it as is. Not going with an external return pump this time, not chasing trends, taking my time and quarantining everything before it goes in the tank. Also placing the tank in the basement now instead of the first floor so water changes and etc become easier to do. Going to use my Gen1 radions for lighting over the QT tanks if they still work.
