Moving. Need advice

[maksim serebro]

Hey, moving from ct to buffalo ny. About a 6 hour drive. Gonna take a few fish and anemonies with me. Already have a battery operated mp40. Need advice on a heater. Where can I get a battery and a heater that can last 6 hrs? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Doing this now....with the hot weather, I wouldn't be overly concerned with heat. I'd simply be looking at a battery operated air pump to bubble the water.

Thanks. Gonna get both the invertor and air stone. Thanks!

For what it's worth, I did this with 2 clowns and an orange back fairy wrasse from Atlanta to Orlando a couple of years ago. Travel time was about 10 hours due to a U-Haul and freeway closure. I just put the fish in tupperware containers and then put those in a cooler to keep temp stable. The wrasse was stressed and I worried about him but all three came through fine. 6 hours should be a piece of cake. I've bought fish on lunch hours, taken them back to the office, and then home where they were bagged for more than 6 hours without losing any.

Will a tank already be setup at the destination?

Good luck!

No tank at the destination. I will travel with a temporary tank until the real arrives. Gonna be a bit crazy. Thanks for advice!
