Hey, I need some advice here. I have a 29 gallon biocube with probably 30 pounds of live rock and 8 or 9 pieces of coral. There are also two clowns and a snowflake eel. I am going to be moving out of my apartment to a house and was looking for tips when transferring a tank. The place is only about 10-15 minutes away if that makes things easier? If anyone has had to go through the same move, please help, any advice is greatly appreciated

Hope this helps.

i had to move my 55 gallon a few years ago, i got lots of rubbermaid bins and put the water in thoes and divided up the live rock between the bins, i also put the fish in a rubermaid that didnt have live rock in it. took the tank with just a little bit of water and sand and just added everything when i got it to the new house - Makaveli

Awesome man thanks for the help. Do I have to let the tank run for awhile before placing any live rock or fish? What about the coral though? I don't want them to get shocked, would I just have to drip acclimate them once the water, rock, and fish were in there? But then again I am really moving no further then the pet store I buy my coral and supplies, so am I making a big deal out of nothing? My corals are why I'm trying to make sure and cover every basis.
