What are some steps and preparations I need to take to clean and prepare a 90 gal that was setup as an African cichlid tank for a saltwater makeover? Can I just scrub the tank and filter and start setup? Is there a need to bleach anything?

Ok just so you know I have a canister filter too and it's alot of work not a lot but like every 5 days i service it. Yea a sump would be better but a canister is fineI have a protein skimmer and a canister for now I'm setting this up for my cuz and I'm trying to talk him into a sump
I use tap it works fine just that I get a little cyano that's all a good cuc will take care of thatI don't know what to believe some people swear I shouldn't use tap water but a lot of people say they have been using tap and treating it with prime for years and have had no problems
