I am thinking of upgrading from 35 gal bow-front to 75 gal corner tank. For tank hygiene I currently have an Eshopps Hang On Protein Skimmer PSK-100H (75 to 100 Gal.) and a Seachem Tidal 75 Aquarium Power filter (up to 75 Gal.). I change 5-6 gal. of water each week (approx. 18%).
The 75 gal. tank that I am looking at is currently in use at a commercial vendor, maintained by some fish supply company. It has freshwater fish. I don't know what kind of equipment it has, I will not know what it has until I get it.
Questions:
1) Is my equipment (above) in addition to 5 or 10 gal. water changes per week sufficient for a 75 gal. saltwater tank?
2) If I transfer all equipment, water, rocks, sand, and fish and keep nothing new (or previously used) do I still have to cycle the tank? If so, how long?
3) Any other things to watch out for? Any suggestions?
