75 Gallon New Build

[meader65]

Hello Everyone, I was able to pick up a free 75-gallon retired reef tank from a local restaurant owner. The post just had the tank listed and no equipment but when I showed up they included a lot of their equipment that was used with the tank including a sump tank and two protein skimmers. I am looking for some information about all the equipment that was included. I have attached pictures of what was included. I know that I will need to get some new equipment to replace some of what was included but would like to use most of what I have to start the tank. Any information would be extremely helpful!

Definitely make sure there are no leaks in the tank or any signs of seam damage. Best of luck with the new tank though!!!

I have that same 75 gallon tank. I've always wondered what the brand was.

Thank you I did an initial leak test but will do a long duration test before setting up

From the picture it looks like my 75g. OCEANIC
Purchased it in 1995. Moved 3 times thru the years. Still up and running well with no leaks.

First thing, get EVERYTHING soaking in a citric acid bath for at least 24 hrs. that will make all the build up alot easier to clean off.
As for the light, that looks like an old Current USA T5 light. you can go their site and see if they still have bulbs for it, but not likely.
The nicrew light looks like it was for a refugium.
The pumps might be done. See how they look and run after the C.A. Bath. The colbalt heater is a good heater,

This has so much potential for a great reef tank,

Yeah mine is old as well but never knew just how old. Good to hear they should last!
