For both of my tanks, I drove a good distance. First tank was a complete running setup that was about 3 hours away. It was roughly a 14 hr day of driving, tear down and reassemble. Second tank I drove about 10 hours round trip for a new in crate Red Sea 525xl that was replaced under warranty. The gentlemen didn’t want to set up a new tank again.

Columbus, Ohio to Key West. Made the trip back using 5g buckets and airstones. Everything made it just fine.

I think 2 hours one-way was the most I've driven for coral. Though it might've been closer to 3...

Just this Tuesday gone, I drove around 500km so like just over 300 miles, after work at 6pm to get a great deal on a a bunch of lps corals that a guy no longer had space for. Well worth the long butt drive through the middle of the night and the even longer day at work the day after
