How soon do you have to move the tank? X4 is giving you good advice on moving the tank. You will need a source of Reverse Osmoses(R/O) water and some reef salt. Ask if your friends Dad has any extra salt. Get the tank up and running before you get any fish, Anemones and/or corals. That picture in your first post is of a well maintained reef tank. This is what you must strive for. You need to do lots of reading. The Shop lights are for a fish only tank and will have to be replaced if you are to do corals or anemones. Google T-5 aquarium lights and metal halide aquarium lights so you won't get sticker shock at the high prices for reef lights. Yes, they are expensive.
