Ok, So I am in the army and have never had to move but as the title states I am going to be moving my tank. Not a huge deal I don't think, but many people told me I am crazy. I have a 60cube with like 40lbs of live rock and tons of coral and like 6 fish.
So here's the plan: Get 2 of those Rubbermaid containers that people store their Christmas decorations in or whatever else. In one put all of my live rock that has coral on it and the rest of my coral, and in the other put the rest of my live rock and fish in it. I am going to put one of my mp10s on each of those and hook it up to my back up battery to keep flow and aeration. I'm going to put a small heater in each ran off of my cigarette lighter and an adapter. The rest of my water I am going to put in 20 gallon containers. I am going to dump all of my sand out and start with new sand when we get where we are going, as well as throwing away my old stand because its MDF. We are only moving a few hours away, I am going to say 8 hours just because of unforeseen army ********. So after everything is packed up and good to go drive to our new house, put the sand in and whatever water I am able to and heat it. Once it is to the temp of my two Rubbermaid containers I will start putting in my live rock and coral and fish into the tank. Here is where I need your help, what do you think I should do in addition to that? Or do you all think I am crazy as well?
Thanks you for your time!
