As a member that loves to get advise from all of the experts that log onto saltwaterfish.com I would love to see a forum devoted to the do's, don'ts, tips, and techniques of moving your aquarium. I see questions posted alot on how to do this and I am sure so many people have ideas that have proven effective and not so effective during the moving process of an aquarium.
Just a thought from a person that is moving 4 aquariums to a new house this month...!

The smartest thing I've ever done is set up a tank in advance in the new location, move the livestock there, then move the old tank.

good idea but what would you do if you were moving cross country? like lets say that i was to move from Indiana to Florida. how would i go about moving my tank that far of a distance?

pack everything up in buckets and drive on a wing and a prayer. If the wife wants to stop hand her a soda cup and turn your head.
Sorry but i don't see anyother way.

If you have a friend that can watch your livestock in their tanks... you could drive the tank&hardware across country with sand and rock in buckets with power heads, get an a/c inverter for the car. When its all set back up and the sand has settle and released nitrates have returned to the sand/denitrified/whatever, have the friend overnight all your stuff to you.
