50gal Fused Silica Box O'Stuff

[Hairytank]

So, I am starting over! It has been about four years since I tore my last tank down.

The first thing I did was resurrect the live/dead rock by doing an acid bath..
2 hours in 10% muriatic acid from HD. (all safety precautions taken)

The Treatment/Torture process:







Talk about frothing!

Then I did a bleach bath after making sure all of the acid was gone, R/O water, dry, R/O water..rinse and repeat.

Then I have been cycling the rocks in a Rubbermaid ever since with weekly partial water changes and Rowaphos.

This time it will be a 24x24x20 cube-ish tank from Concepts and a Marineland stand to support it. The tank will be in the corner and viewed mostly from the couch..so I made some adjustments to orientation on the stand. This way you don't see the plumbing all the time.
