helping a buddy set up a tank that he has had idle for about 6 months. The tank has salt water but has not had any pumps on. Will he have to replace the sand? Are the rocks ok? What should we do?

Appreciate any help

thanks

Get the pump and protein skimmer going ASAP, clean the tank, do a big water change, keep it running for a week and take the water to be tested.
No need to throw anything out with time nature takes over.
