I have questions that need answers.

I would like to know for certain before I do this. If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated.

Soooo... when I heard that I could acquire a 125 gallon tank, stand, sump, skimmer, powerheads, and lighting for free; I jumped on the opportunity! All I had to do was rent a trailer, break it down, and transport 2 hours to my house.
