Wanted to hear what you guys have to say

[Crash607]

A friend of mine is getting rid of his 220 with sump stand powerheads and everything. He kept saltwater fish in it though and everything has a lot of salt and stuff on it. He told me he would clean it up though before he sold it too me. I want to make it a freshwater rays tank and some other misc. fish. Do you think it would be ok or would the salt residue and stuff harm the fish? Or I was thinking I could just get new media in the filter? But what do you guys think?

Thanks,
Tyler

I say go for it. Just clean it up really well. FW fish can tolerate a small amount of salt anyway, so I don't see a problem.

Yeah, it should be fine. I wouldn't worry about it. I'd just fill the tank, wipe it down, drain it, and refill.

dont worry about that salt hose the tank down a couple of times wipe the heavy crust of with atowel and get some cichlids in thier

Salt will disappear in the first few water changes but a quick rinse is all you really need to get rid of it. I would get your other fish in there to cycle the tank, once that is done then get your rays after and you will be fine.

yeah man... they are all right! no need to worry just clean it up... your fish/rays will do just fine on that tank.

I had a tank that I converted from salt to fresh. I just rinsed it down.
