Moving to Florida

???
Hey does anyone know what is the best way to move a 72 gallon tank?
Should I take my water?
How do I keep my fish from dieing along the way?

I have
3 peculas
1 - sailfin
1- pepermint shrimp
1 - lawnmower blemmy
2 - sea anomenies
1 - Reef friendly trigger
80-90 lbs of live rock

THis could be ugly if its not done right... Any ideas?

:-\
 
this is what i would do.....

break down the tank but leave enough water to keep the rocks damp

have somone hold the livestock for you, and when you are ready for the live stock, have someone ship it to you overnight.

good luck, if i can help ya any, let me know.

I've heard that if you use the same water, the transition goes smoother, because the shock is less..

If I was to move I would get an inverter for heater, powerhead,airpump.... use rubber maids for the live stock and whatever water was left, put it in a rubbermaid trashcan and drive down..
