Hello all
first time poster
I have been given the oppurtunity to purchase a 2nd hand setup from my uncle
he has a decent sized tank, with a protein skimmer, external filter, 2 blowers on the glass and loads of live rock. a few fish, 2 clowns and a shrimp thing and a toadstool thing.
I have never had a marine setup before and come to you guys for help and advice.
He has a base of coral, which is a bit ugly to be honest, I would much prefer sand.
is this a big job to chage the base from crushed coral to sand?
also, the live rock is a bit green in places, should this be left or cleaned somehow?
I may take some pics and show you if i can round to his house.
He said its easy to move, just empty the water level to about 25% and take out the live rock and wrap in paper. we would also be draining the water and refilling it.
is this ok?
