Ok guys so am going to be moving and i have a 90G reef tank i need to take with me the move isnt to far so thats a good thing. But i am nervous as it gets because i dont know what would be the right approach to this. Is there anyone with experience on this? i want to have a little casualties as possible. Thanks

have water ready when for when you get there with the tank. get a cooler to fit all livestock and fil half way and empty livestock into it. get some buckets and rubbermade tubs to hold live rock and some water. leave sand in tank with about a half inch of water. transport, set up, do rockwork, put some pre mixed water in, place corals in, acclimate fish and add the rest of the water you need to.

Thanks guys for the advise and the offer dre i might take u up on it...am going to start getting all the rubber mates ready and mixing water now so i have enough when i go over. I plan i keeping all of my water and putting most of it back in is this a good idea?

I don't know if anyone else does this but i use as much water as possible from the old tank.Save as much as you can.

best plan. get tubs, break tank down save as much water as possible, move tank and equiptment first, get it set up then start bring water and fish ect, also dont forget that if ya get to big of containers to hold your not going to be able to lift it

Buy some 5 gal buckets from home depot to transport the water.
When you are done, clean and return them.
