Just bought another tank

I'm pretty stoked. I bought a 24 gallon JBJ with upgraded 150 watt MH's for $425. It comes with a carpet anenome, mated pair of clowns, 40 head white and red Acan colony, 60 head colony of flourecent green candycanes, ton of Xenia's, 25 lbs of live rock covered in blue and star polyps, green bubbletip, orange and green mushrooms, Majenta dottyback, and a haitian anenome. Not too shabby. I'll post some pics when I pick it up on Saturday.

Why were they selling the tank?

He has an 18 month old and didn't want to have to maintain it anymore. There was a little green hair and bubble algae, but not enough that a few water changes wouldn't cure. I'm picking it up today. Hopefully, I get some picks posted this week.

My wife wants me to give it to my son for his 2nd birthday. He had a 12 gallon that started me in the hobby and now it's a 95 gallon.haha

My tank has been setup since Monday and everything is looking great. All of the bubble algae is gone because I only kept 10% of the original water and replaced 90%. I added a cleaning crew and pulled off the bubble algae that I could see before setting it up. The emerald crabs have eaten the rest. The water is crystal clear and I even replaced the sand. It came with 25-30lbs of liverock that is covered in corals and I figured it had enough beneficial bacteria to repopulate the tank. I'll post some pics later this week.
