Hi there...

Well, Craigslist did it again. 120 gal with oak cabinet stand and a sump filter - $200. It also comes with a ton of stuff inside... fish that are going back to the fish store.

Now, I know nothing about sump filter. This one has 2 chambers (pic coming tomorrow) and inside the tank is a huge piece that takes up a section of the back of the tank (in the middle).

Do I keep his media? His tank is green tinted with algea so the walls will need a good scrub. I'm replacing all his other stuff inside too.

Big thing is the media. He has no idea what type of filter it is. There are no markings on it either. Just a pump with a model number on it. I'm hoping to get a nice close up pic in the morning so that you all can help me figure out what it is and what the media inside needs to be.

Piglet and Red are going to be soooo happy !!!

Post some pics and i'm sure we can come up with ideas for the media in your sump!
There's lots of options , glad to see you're progressing.

Here is a pic of the tank... currently still set up with Silver Dollars and other. Tons of big coral in it (going bye-bye). This shows the big black thing that goes from top to bottom on the back of the tank. Tomorrow I'll get pics of the filter itself and post them. You can actually see the green tint to it.

I know what you mean... couldn't pass this deal up though. I'd have a lot of work to do though to clean it... algae all over everything. Guy said he hasn't changed the water in months. It looks it too but the fish look happy. My babies are gonna love it! Now I'm going to get a big ass pleco for the tank!
