Ok, the pics are up, so Ill answer questions.
Lighting, I have MH's on my fresh, I know..what a waste right now!! But they came with my tank..
Filtration, I have The Marineland Penguin 350.
Nitrates--Not sure, was going to test today after the shock of everything.
Bio load--way to much! We are actually taking 5 fish out today (just gouramis that we started the tank with again when we moved last year) And taking all of my little catfish things that are claimed to be algae eaters! This should help big time with the bioload!
Sas you were right, that sand was VERYYYY dirty! But paid off.
