Hi all,
I'm converting my freshwater rig this week. I've got my supplies in and am ready to go. BUT, before I start I just want to make sure that any freshwater bacteria that might be in my old bioballs and plumbing won't dork anything up saltwater wise. I could replace the plumbing and balls if I had too...but was thinking that since the tank, sump, and plumbing have been dry for a few months, it would be OK. Just not sure on how tough bacteria is...if it could still be alive and ready to screw things up.
