Alright!
Got some cleaning done yesterday.

Scraped the tank glass for algae, calcium deposit, and worms
Some of the plumbing and a few other parts are soaking in vinegar
Got the skimmer all shiny lol
Scraped the sump for algae, calcium deposit, and worms
(some how the previous owner build the stand around the sump so there
is no removing the thing for cleaning haha bummer)

Got about 75% of the rock soaking in bleach water and will leave them there for another day or so.
The other 25% is sitting in freshwater

Next step for the rocks is an acid bath
Next step for the tank is a few coats of flat black paint for the backdrop.
