Just got a good deal on a 120 gallon with dual overflows, Amiracle wet/dry and uv sterilizer. Now the tank was a salt tank and was used about a year ago, so I was wondering what I need to do to make all the parts safe and clean for a freshwater tank.... :confused:

Thanks

Wash wash wash wash, you will have to throughly wash your tank filter's (replace the media) the tank, substrate and everything your putting in there, boil or bake the gravel (350 farenheight for an hour) the oven will be smelly so I would boil it for awhile...

So the bio balls cannot be used again if they have been sitting for a year and I wash/soak them really thoroughly?
