Hello! My name is Anais from Raleigh NC. I am excited to be part of this group as I will be having a new 125 G saltwater tank. I always wanted to have one for a long time, but do not know where to start. A friend of mine is moving and she would want me to have her salt water aquarium. I am joining the group to learn more about taking care of Reef aquarium. I have no experience and will definitely open for advice.

Any recommendation on how to move the tank and the livestock safely? It will be a 20 minutes drive.

Thank you,
Anais
