Several hours later and almost 8 L of Vinegar and countless gallons of water.....




Is it worth painting the back? it is faded and pretty scratched up or just leave it because it will end up that way anyway?






now once I had soaked this in Vinegar and warm water I got it apart.... there were tube worms all inside it, some bristle worms lots of snail shells and eggs. took a lot of soaking and scrubbing but I got it like new and it works.



The light cover is yellowed, the bulbs are no good. but the moonlights are fine and work.
I'm not sure what I am going to do about the lights. more research is needed.



Going to buy a stand tomorrow. May get one a bit larger than the tank so I have some room in the cabinet to play with.
I will be ordering the RO/DI unit tomorrow (75 gpd 5 stage Plus). Possibly the Tunze nano 9002 DOC and the media basket.
I'd like to use a HOB fuge if I can get one to fit.
I will be buying an MP10 from a fellow reefer as well.

I threw out the 100 w jager heater, it had moisure inside and was also looking corroded inside. for what they cost. I'll get a new one.
I really don't want to put the false Floors back in the debris was crazy under them. Not sure what to do with the first chamber there is no vents in the bottom to allow detrius to enter the second chamber at the bottom.
