Hello all I have a 55g aquarium with sump, 2 250watt mhs 20k(that are over one year old) that I will be replacing with two 12k 250watt and adding 55 watts of antic lighting. The pump on my protein skimmer has been out for about 4 months. The water has not been changed in three months. There are two Damsels, snails, crabs, and a few assorted corals. My question is: besides a immediate water change. What can I do to have a masterpeice again. there is some red stuff on the glass.I just lost time for the tank. I am not a fish hater

A loaded question... well a few water changes, like you mentioned. Mag float for the glass to see what is going on. Turn on the skimmer, replace any filters you may have. Add the new lights slowly to reduce any more algea and shock. Keep track of your parameters, do what you need to do to correct any problems. Keep us informed. HTH
