I'm moving to a new house in the same town. 10 min drive. What's the best way to get my established 90 gal sand bottom reef, rock, fish and inverts all moved safely? And stand too. My glass is pretty scratched up so I could consider a new tank, but want to keep all the existing adjuncts.

I'm going to try to make this as short as possible:
Have extra saltwater (as much as you can at the new place)
Put fish, rocks and sand in buckets, trash cans, bins etc
Keep as much water as possible from the old system.
Move the tank and stand.

Recommend rinsing the sand (fresh or saltwater. your choice) or replacing it if you want to take on that expense

Set up tank and stand and on and on!

Hope that helps!

BTW MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE TIME TO DO IT IN ONE SHOT IF ALL POSSIBLE!
