well i did it i bought the tank. it was originally bought for the fish. i had been planning to use the tank as a acclimation/ quarantine tank/ project. when i went to pick up the tank i found way more than i planned for (good). cost me 75 dollars. i instead have set the tank up to preserve the life in the rock and save the other various creatures he had.
i now have a new 55 gallon tank,
"broken"prizim skimmer (made lots of noise...) now fixed and quiet
some kind of hang on filter
1- "broken" powerhead (now fixed)
2- crap flouresent fixtures so no awesome reef tank any time soon...
1- heater
livestock
1- mated pair percula clowns
1- sixline
1- flame hawk
1- brittle star? guy didnt know he was in there
1- huuuumongous turbo.
a couple of small sea fan looking guys
70#ish of lr. 10# of which is premium marshall is. rest premium fiji
60# black sand only gave me about an inch or two of depth!?!?!
liverock was coated in hair alge and bubble alge... his water was green i acclimated the poor fish and currently have the clowns and sixline in my 28 (temporary)
the hawk is in one of my water change buckets.

suggestions tips complaints are all welcome.
should i lose the hang on filter and get a canister filter..
ps i scrubbed the mess outta the bubble/hair alge infested lr and fresh water dipped it.
