Re-use Marine tank

[orangedeuce]

Hi all,
is it safe to use an old marine tank for planted aquarium??
My tank is a two feet that has its rear quarter partition for filtering.
pls advise.
Thanks.

hmm....think it be safe as long as it was perfectly cleansed!

Fill it up with water and check for leakage. How long was the tank left to dry?

How about filter system?? Is it ok to use the type of filter system?? Sorry, I dun really know how to explain this...
The rear of the tank has a overflow filter system, with the use of powerhead to pump water back to the tank. Filter elements previously used were bio-balls, cotton, sponge, carbon. Of course, I will use new elements.
Thanks again.

Does that tank require a pump to transport the tank water into the rear partition or are there an opening for the tank water to flow into the rear partition naturally?

There is a opening for the tank water to flow into the rear partition. The water will flow thru the filter elements and then there is a powerhead to pump the water back into the tank.

My next question is what type of filtration method are you going to employ? Using the partition filtration set or to use a canister filter? Will you be using a chiller too?
