Day 1: Setup

I went to the Bronx and met the guy. (I'll drop 'I' in the beginning of the following sentences):
Disassembly:
1. took a big bucket and scooped about half the tank out in it.
2. transferred live rock into the bucket with water
3. took another bucket and scooped some water into it.
4. transferred anemone (the only one I could find into that bucket)
5. Took an empty container and scooped the fish with some water into it.
6. Let the container float (closed) in the bucket with water. Closed bucket with cap.
7 Brought both buckets, & fishtank with some water in it home by car.
Re-assembly:
1. Put a tank in my room on top of the piece of furniture between the windows.
2. Scooped some more water into the tank.
3. Put some live rock back into the tank
4. Hid a bottom filter among the rocks and connected airline to it.
5. Put the rest of the rocks in and poured the rest of the water.
6. Cleaned the buildup from the inside of the tank walls with a piece of a paper towel.
7. Let the container with the fish float on the surface (opened).
8. Some time later started to pour water from the tank to the container to less stress the fish (just a pre-caution, that was all the same water they were in so just the temperature could be the factor.)
9. Poured the rest of the water into the tank from another bucket.
10. Let the fish float back into the tank.
11. Put the cover on top of the tank.
