I'm a happy camper!

I'm a firm believer in, those who do good deeds are rewarded for them. I related on the board a while back about a friend of mine whose tank leaked the day he moved his reef into his 55g. I bought him a new 55g and helped him set it up that day. This was about 5 weeks ago. This weekend he got a deal on a 75g FW setup. All he wanted was the tank and stand to move his 55g reef into (the must be bigger fever has struck), I could have all of the FW. I was the lucky recipient of the following FREE:

55g AGA (my gift to him 5 weeks ago)
wrought iron stand
4' dual strip light w/ bulbs a 50/50 and 6500k
dual overflow powerfilter (a skilter if you can believe that)
550 powerhead
75 lbs of gravel
10g acrylic Q-tank with PC lights
2 heaters
air pump
hydrometer from previous SW
food, ph balance, stress coat, etc.
and LIVESTOCK

2 skirted tetras
2 gouromis (sp?)
2 albino cory cats
AND
2 of the biggest damn Angelfish I've ever seen (absolutely gorgeous) :D

We had a very busy Sunday. Drove 2 hours to Wichita, KS. Tore down the 75g FW, bucketed the livestock and gravel, loaded tank and equip, drove 2 hrs back. Cleaned 75g. Tore down 55g reef with 100 lbs live rock, 4" sand bed, many polyps. Moved reef into 75g tank. Cleaned 55g tank and moved all equip to my house. Setup 55g tank and added livestock. Including the 5 hrs of driving time it took us 11 hrs from start to finish. Slept like a baby last night :D .
