![]() Man alive!! Wow, guess it pays to keep the odd old tank in storage, you never know!
My guess is the sand is pretty gross by now, but could still be cleaned, so the real deciding factor is whether you can stomach the task of cleaning it.

![]() I moved in July of last year and it took me a month to reset a tank up. My sand sat in 5 gallon pails in a hot garage the entire time. I rinsed it with the garden hose and then let my tank cycle. No more than 3 weeks and my water was fine. My rock was all cured in my small tanks so only my sand had issues.
If you are able to let the tank cycle it will be fine!

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds. ![]() |
