Well first off let me say this site helped me allot with my first nano but unfortunately my nano went belly up i had my first nano up and running for about 7 months but do to my job i was gone allot and could not really look after the tank as much soooooooooo i let my wife look after it for me and lets just say the fishes started getting flushed One By One oisson (love yah honey) =) and i think my daughter :alice played a small part in my tanks down fall i would find her crayons or markers floating in the tank hmm

well any way to my question once all things had died off i shut the tank down and the rock and sand have been sitting in the tank with fresh salt water i had changed it in hopes of starting again and just never got around to it but can i still use the live rock and sand or will i have to pick up some more the rock and sand have been sitting for about 4 months

i would reuse the sand and rock. 100% water change and let it run with the lights off for like a month. should be fine, just test you water every other week. you could get some of that agra-live sand to speed up the process, a small bag will work. maybe a few small pieces of cured LR would help also.
