Hey everyone!

I'm moving long distance and was wondering if anybody had any tips on keeping my live rock alive during the trip so I don't have to recycle when I get there? It'll be about 3 days of driving. I was thinking putting it in a bucket, cover them with water from the tank, and then put a heater and air pump in there (same as my livestock).

If anyone has done a long move I'd really appreciate the help and any tips you have. Thanks!

buckets work fine, you can also get storage bins from menards or fleet farm, I used those when I moved, granted it wasn't long distance, but still worked fine.

ok cool. I'll probably use some home depot buckets and stick a heater and air pump in there. Thanks!
