It is not all that hard but will cost plenty. Read number 1 in this post http://www.reefbuilders.com/forums/n...e-posting.html
then price every thing. Also if you ever medecated the freashwater tank it could be a problem. Look at the silacone sealer in the corners is it greenish or blueish if it is it's a sign of copper which would be a real problem.

If the tank is a few years old it might not be a bad idea to put new silicone in it anyway.10 $'s and an hour and its done.
