My dad is upgrading his 75 gal reef tank to a 180. He's offered to give me his 75 when that happens sometime next year. He already has the new tank, just needs to get it up on the new stand (a job in and of itself) and move everything over.
I'm curious as to how difficult it would be to get the salt out of...well, everything. The tank of course, but then there are the hoses and the sump too. And whether I'd even want to use a sump on a planted freshwater tank - I've been reading conflicting things about that.
It seems like kind of a big job, but also...free upgrade to nearly double my current tank volume (this would replace my 38 gal.).
Any advice or thoughts, yay or nay? Has anyone here done this before? Am I overthinking this, as usual?
