Hi Folks,new here, been reading for a while. I have an old 75g reef probably 1994-1995. Due to several non-tank
issues the tank had to be moved to the basement. All the corals, clam, and a couple of fish went back to lfs. I
kept the live rock (about 150lbs) and a few shrooms. The tank has been sitting in my basement for the past 3
years being neglected. I have been doing nothing but topping it off with tap water and a squirt of chlorine
remover whenever the pump would make noise. I am wondering if the rock will still be OK or not. Will the rock be
a sink for metals and other bad things? Can a tank without a DSB suffer OTS? Also, If I were to keep half of the
rock in the display and move half of it to a sump would it still have the same effects on the system? I would like
to try a clam and sps tank this time.
Thanks, Bill
