Anybody into saltwater aquariums? I've kept freshwater, though its been a while since i've had one set up. I was just offered a 75gal saltwater setup for free. Fully stocked and established, everything included. A complete setup, start to finish, top to bottom. So of course im gonna have to move the fish and live rock, trying to keep everything as healthy and stress free as possible. Plus i would like to move as much aquarium water as possible. Then there's the question of my water quality. I have a private well with relatively hard water as well as iron and possibly manganese. It's run through a standard ion exchange softener, so it will have some salt in place of most of the calcium or whatever else, though i do know that there's still iron present in the treated water. Will that be a problem for the aquarium? Anything else im forgetting about or anything i should know? Im trying to do my research now before i get the setup, I want to keep all the livestock as safe and healthy as i can.
