Hi all,
I am a beginner setting up my first saltwater tank. I have a 56 gallon c tank to use for this. I would eventually like to have a sump system for this in the basement but the cost of new equipment is a daunting prospect. I would rather buy this system used off c-list to save some money.
First question: Am I asking for trouble with used stuff? is there a danger that the used equipment is somehow contaminated?
Second: Can I start off with HOB filter and skimmer and get by for a while that route untill I find suitable sump equipment? I would be adding a power head also to ensure enough water movement.
Thanks
