Starting to gather pieces for a 40 gallon long frag tank.
I've found a tank on craigslist that used to house an Axolotl. But, I'm concerned that there may be some incompatibility in keeping corals in a tank that used to house an amphibian (could very well be wrong. any input is appreciated). I just don't want to get it all going simply to find out that the tank is no good because of what it used to house.
Is there any advice on what I may need to look into to get this thing going? I'm wanting to do SPS, LPS, and some zoos. I may attempt to drill the tank and add a small, 10 gallon sump as a refugium, but I don't feel like that would be worth the effort and cost. I'm thinking that a hang on back, a couple of power heads, and some chinese LEDs would do the trick for a basic propagation set up.
Input is welcomed and well received. I've never set up a tank before for the sole purpose of coral propagation.
