Far out, that is fast. Good job, hope everything recovers (they ought to, man, I've done water changes that lasted longer than that).

So you moved tank with the the rock structure and corals in the tank still? I didn't realize you could do that, I would have thought it would be too heavy to carry.
ok lets clear the 30 min up, I think that is a shorter time than it actualy was..

we emptied the tank and then spent 15 min to catch the two damn tangs in 1" of water.

we loaded up, about 10 to 15 min, then drove to his new place. another 15 min. then we unloaded ...15 min and started dumping water back in say 5 min.

so I would gues the actual "dry" time was about 1 hour which is still fast concidering we moved it 1/2 way across town in 3 vehicals.

All in all I think it went well, and quick. I think Brad found a new way to frag. First you drain tank then chase fish around and break peices off as you go. Or just get Steve to push on the rock.

Cheers

Hey now if I didn't test the stability of that rock, which resulted in one frag, it could have wiped the whole tank out the way Brad drives
