Square 1 all over again

[BryanM]

Hello, I've been in the saltwater set up for about a year now, and due to LFS bad advice I have decided to start square 1 with better research after I came home to find my entire reef tank gone.
If you have any ideas on places to start lets here em, because I was given every bad advice under the sun (including, but not limited too, a fish-in with tap water cycle)
I want to make sure I do this correct this time
I have a 36 gallon tank that needs deep cleaned to avoid whatever killed my beloved hobby, I have about 30-40 lbs of new rock ordered and some caribsea ocean direct live sand waiting for me
I had a HOB 70 Gal filter but I have started research on building a 20 gal Sump

Welcome! LFS's are usually some of the least knowledgeable unless they specialize in reefs only. There are of course some exceptions.

Welcome.

Where in Canada? If you happen to be near Toronto, check out fragbox corals. I watch his videos, his shop looks clean and professional and he seems to know what he’s talking about.
