I will go with the flow. It is best to start from scratch and learn from the begining. Get to choose your liverock (porous!) and do a very nice aquascaping (avoid the rock wall look which is UGLY!) and get to see your coral grow from little frags.

If you buy an established system you are stuck with the previous problem...if the liverock is soaked with phosphate then you're stuck with it. Old liverock can become inefficient at filtration if it is full of phosphates or has its pores blocked.

There are some really nice aquascaping that you can do that will look a lot better than that tank. Plus all soft coral are not really worth much. The palythoas are ugly (very ugly) brown polyps that I ended up throwing in the garbage because they were ugly and nobody wanted them. Leathers are a pain because they often go on chimical warfare and are not much compatible with other corals.

The tank seem well maintained though but it's not 3000$ nice. Is it 190 gallons or 190 liters? it look small for a 190 gallons.
