Tank Restart
Hi,
New to reef central I had a 29g fowlr that crashed about 6 months ago, power failure that wasn’t caught in time. I removed all the livestock and let the tank sit. I was pretty disappointed so couldn’t bring myself to start up right away. Im ready now and had a question on my sand/rock. The tank has sat this time with water still in it. I’m about to empty old water and was wondering if I need to remove all sand and live rock and start new with those as well. Any help appreciated. Jordan |

No, everything has been shut off during this time. The water has been still.

Replacing the sandbed might be smart: detritus and nastiness too great to process easily. The rock should be fine.
