New Tank Help, Expectations...

You will be fine than! Just have new washed sand ready, prepared heated saltwater mixed the day before. When you get them home, drip water for them to get use to the new water you prepared.

I would grab 4-5 large Rubbermaid bins and buy a few heaters, powerheads to keep everything warm while you do the transport. I would move the water rock and livestock all first and then make a second trip to move the equipment to your place. it will kind of have to be orchestrated. that's what I did getting my free reef tank.

buying the heaters and powerheads is a small investment seeing that you didn't pay for the established tank!

congrats and welcome to R2R!!!!!!

Welcome! Lucky you.

I just did a move a couple of months ago the same size. I did have some loss of corals and inverts. No fish though.

WELCOME!!! Lots of Rubbermaid bins, plenty of ready-mixed saltwater, new sand or go bare bottom. Have e plan of attack and see it through. Keep us posted. BTW, that is the best price for a full reef setup I've seen in forever! Good luck!
