Been wanting to enter the hobby for years so finally took the jump by purchasing from a local exiting. Transferring everything 30 miles and up a few flights of stairs was no joke.

Basically drained tank into a couple coolers and transported tank with sand and 1in water. Corals were put in Tupperware with water. Main rock scape in cooler with water and all fish/shrimp.
