I posted this on the reef board as well, but thought this board might be a bit more appropriate...
I was just given lots of gear from a guy I used to work with (he is moving, and he didn't want to take it with him). Most of it has been in his garage/basement for about 6 months. Highlights include: 3 tanks (30h, 20h, 10), lights, numerous heaters, filters (hanging type), protein skimmer, chemicals, salt, and base rock. What do I need to do before I use this stuff... what is the proper method of cleaning all the gung off it (old, dead algae, spider webs, dust, etc.)? Should I boil the rock? What about the tanks/filters? Just a good scrub brush and lots of water?
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.
