Hi, can you switch a tank that was saltwater to a freshwater tank? If so how?
Thanks much

Do you still have SW in the tank? Are there still fish in the tank? If not, then you would just need to clean it very well several times (no chemicals). You will not need as much equipment. Look at http://www.fishlore.com/Beginners.htm for starting a FW tank. If you need more information, just reply back.

I was looking for a new tank and someone had a saltwater tank and I was just wondering if I could use it for freshwater fish. I ended up buying a 72 gal bow front this weekend that just passed. Thanks anyway.

Just wash it out. Make sure all of the salt creep is out of the corners and stuff. Vinegar gets it off pretty well if you can't just hose it down. Basically just a washing process, otherwise its good.
