    The pics came from before it was actually taken apart and transported. Notice all the hair algae!! Going to cook the rock!

    The tank is a Tenecor 96"Lx15"Dx18"T. It has a center overflow with a 2" drain. The tank is in great shape, just acouple scratches that are noticable when filled. It came with over 100lbs of live rock. 3 of the pieces were too large for 5 gallon salt buckts. Just for reference there are only 5 pieces of rock! The return pump is a mag12, and it came with a Euroreef skimmer, a CUC, a niger trigger, coral banned shrimp, 2 48" Coralife PC fixtures, a koraline 3 and 4 power head!

    Over all it turned out to be a good weekend! Now to frag some more zoas!

    Cooking rock refers to removing rock from light and doing water changes untill all the algea dies and decomposes and your phosphates reach zero. When I did it I put my rock in a rubbermade tote with heater and powerhead. I forgot to remove all the loose dirt before I started but it all seamed to work well.
