Need advice bringing back neglected tank

Sounds like you’re on the right path. I tend to not test unless I’m having issues.

I had a horrible Cyano issue a while back that took a long time to get rid of. While chasing numbers, trying to get NO3 and PO4 to zero…I had no success. Then, I learned the zeros there weren’t the best. Brought them within the acceptable range and all’s good now.
 
It seems like things are improving. My nitrates were around 20, and my phosphate level was below 3. I replaced the PhosGuard material and slightly increased the amount. Today, I have 10 gallons of fresh saltwater ready for a water change.
