Today, my wife and I picked up our first SW tank. I had a few as a kid in Puerto Rico, but those were maintained by my mom, and I actually just looked at them.
We managed to pick up a 56 gallon cube-ish, with stand, live sand, live rock, heater, HOB filter, protein skimmer, nets, food, water jugs, and 2 clowns, all for $150.
The lady we purchased it from only saved some of the water for us, and by the time we made the 2 hour drive home, the LFS was closed. We were a bit unprepared, as we were only in that town tonight by pure accident, and had originally scheduled to pick it up this weekend.
My main concerns are the extremely low water level, lack of filtration, and exposed live rock. Will my two clowns be okay for tonight, until I can get water tomorrow? Right now I at least have the heater operating for them.
What do you think?
