First i had a 55 reef tank and we lost power and killed everthing in my tank. This was last year, tank sat for a year and i did nothing to it. I recentally got a 75 i was gonna set up for fish for now. I cleaned the old arragonite and the rock for the new tank. It has about 65 lbs of rock in the...
