Ok tank moving question

[bucksfan1976]

Ok here is the deal , I am going to be selling my tank and getting a new one. Ive moved tanks before but this is different, when i moved previously it ws from house to house

Only two things I have to put livestock in is a 40 gallon brute tub and a 55 Gallon Garbage Can

Could I try to stuff as much liverock in the 55 gallon container, and fill it with water from the tank and throw a heater in there and a powerhead.

I then would remove return pump and all unnecessary stuff from sump , return pumps and such.

I would leave some liverock in there for hiding of fish and keep my skimmer going , Here is the problem though here is my livestock

1 yellow tang, 1 blue hippo both aprox 3.5 inches
2 clowns
2 anemones
corals
2 damsels
3 wrasses

If they were only in there for aprox 2-3 days would that be ok, Id put a light over the tub. The skimmer could handle the bio load asm g3, This seems to be the only way I can fully get everything out of my tank so I can remove it, before setting up my cube. My biggest concerns are the stressing of the fish. But i do not think I have any other choice.

Thoughts please.

Mix up a batch of water and fill your tub. Put some LR in there also for bio load and throw your skimmer, fish and corals in there. You could also throw your lighting over the tub also. I've done this before, moving from a 125g to a 240g.

+1 on what Mr. Madness has said i have also done this myself with no problems. I have also moved from one tank to another without any issues. Good luck. Not what the experts advise though.

The tub was my sump all complete catching fish sucks when your son hid the net
