OK, so I set up the tank. I used all dead nasty rock. After the crash of 2 years ago I just let all the water evaporate from the tank and left all the rock and dead coral sitting there. I mean, after the tanks crashed all I did was pull the power plugs and pretend I didn't have tanks for 2 years.
It went through a phase of just nasty, stagnant water with a nice brown film over the top to a dry tank just from evaporation. The rock had dried salt all over it, coral skeletons everywhere.
All I did was put the tank on a stand, add a little sand and the nasty rock, never cleaned the tank or the rock, and filled it with water.
Here's my question. Why doesn't it stink? There is NO odor at all??
