Default Inherited LR...

Guy at church found out how hard it is to keep a 20g salt tank running with just a little HOB filter. Needless to say his livestock weren't very happy and he shut the tank down about Novemberish.

Problem is he wouldn't sell his LR, so it sat in the saltwater until yesterday. His mother brought it by the school in a trashbag wrapped in a wet towel. All 20lbs smelled like, nothing. It didn't smell like dead fish or anything like I was expecting. She also brought in the 20lbs of LS he had as well which didn't smell bad either.

I went ahead and divided the LS and LR into two 5g tanks, added some WC water, put in some powerheads and will let run for a couple weeks with no lights. Should I even have bothered keeping the LS?

Suggestions would help... free LR is great and would love to add more to my 40!
