Need help

Helloo i have a 75 G saltwater tank and I just bought a 115 tank from my friendad to upgrade, he had a snapping turtle in it and fresh water fish, is it OK to clean and use it for saltwater. I heard once a reptile has been in it, it's no good for fish. Kinda stuck in the middle now..

Never heard that one, I think you'd be ok if you clean it and use it for fish.
