Just an fyi for future reference when setting up a new tank, running a tank empty for any length of time doesn't do anything. It needs to cycle, which means build up the bacteria needed for the nitrogen cycle. I'd highly recommend reading up on the nitrogen cycle and how to do a fishless cycle. Then you'll be much less likely to have problems.
