Hope this is the right thread for this question.
I'm picking up a 60 gallon cube from someone I met. Nice guy (non member) but he seems to have been winging the maintenance of the tank. While watching him do a water change there was a tremendous amount of cyano floating in the tank.
Does it make sense to take the tank with the water and set it back up at my place 'without' re-cycling it, or find a home for the 7 fish and 2 anemones while I bleach, vinegar and generally clean the tank, sump, etc.?
He doesn't have any coral in the tank, just the fish, anemones and a small cleanup crew.
itis a 24" x 24" x 24" cube with 40 lbs of sand and what looks like 60 lbs of live rock. There is a sump with a reactor and skimmer.
I'm obviously new to the hobby so any help will be welcome.
Thanks for reading my post.
