:help: Hi everyone,,,
Well, I just returned home from purchasing a 4tank from someone on ---- and boy am I disappointed! The tank hasn't been taken care of in a very long time! Although it has three healthy, active fish. I went through the process of saving the water into a huge trashcan, as everyone said to do, saved the crushed rock, etc... Broke down the tank and gagged the entire time at these people's house. But, I am totally disappointed and realize the tank really needs some major work. The smell alone is enough to make you lose your lunch.
So... all you wonderful experts... what the heck do I do now?????? Should I just say heck with it.. Tanki my time this week cleaning up the 40 gallong, start the tank (which could be very nice with some elbow grease) from scratch-- purchase the live rock, live sand and let it cycle?? In the mean time, can I still keep these fish alive in a q- tank and use the water that I hauled for an hour in the back of a truck to get home?
What would you folks do?? Help...........................................
