transporting a tank?

[fatyman]

I have the chance to buy a already set up tank complete with livestock and lr and live sand. Its 125 gal so there is no moving it set up. any suggestions in how to do this without the tank recycling and killing all the fish? the tank has a hair algae outbreak that is out of control. I was going to scrub the LR in tank water before moving. any other suggestions? thxs.

Buy stock in tupperware and then buy a whole bunch of plastic containers for the livestock. Empty the tank as low as possible. Put LR in trashcans full of water, same goes for LS. Hopefully there will be enough water in the trashcans that it won't cycle too bad when you refill it. That's the best advice that I could give ya. That and have 4-5 of your closest friends help you, but beware how much info you give them before they get there because they might not like you too well after having to move a huge tank...lmao
