Any last min stuff I should know before i start the entire process? I have a 100 gallon Rubbermaid horse trough. Some new saltwater in trash cans. A 800w heater to keep the Rubbermaid tub warm. A scrub brush to clean off the rock ( which ill clean in old tank water 5 gallon bucket, then place in the rubbermaid tub that has old tank water in. Will drain the sim and clean that as well as the skimmer. Anything else?

Maybe a small power head in the trough for some circulation. Wasn’t sure if livestock was going in there as well or if any coral was on the live rock? Good luck!!!

Thanks. I got it all moved and everything is still alive so far. I scrubbed the live rock to get most fo the algae off and added 30gallow of fresh saltwater to the tank also. Same amount as i would normally for a water change.
