so i am moving my tank to my new place its only been a week and my dad who said he would take care of it blew it and hasnt even opened my door to the room sump was empty and the skimmer stopped so im moving it.......but how do i do this? what do i do with my coral. it will have to be a 2 day thing so the water can get to temp and all

ok big container for fish, big container for live rock, corals, seperate container for sand OR if this is a 20g or smaller tank leave it in the tank, drain and KEEP all the water that you can.. Have at least enough water at the new place for a 100% of your tank volume..and have it premixed with salt and heated to the proper temp..
setup everything put sand back put waterback corals, fish etc.. then gradual water changes to take care of any dieoff due to dry live rock etc..

How far are you moving.. I moved 3 tanks and my entire apt from Chico to brentwood in a day all the same trip and only lost a peppermint shrimp the tank was fully stocked with sps also... and it was over 100degrees out that day... You dont need to worry about airstones or anything when your driving like some people freak out about the water will slosh in the container aerating the water... I've done this lets see from Fresno to brentwood, brentwood to chico, chico to brentwood and a few small in town moves and all I ever lost was that one peppermint and my tanks are usually somewhat overstocked in some people opinions... If you have any questions LMK.. I usually use like 18g rubbermaid container for most of the stuff and big brute cans for the liverock and bulk of the water..

it was 2 miles. so me and my girlfriend were able to move it had to take my dads truck to i have a short bed plus a 41g fueltank for my veggi oil but we left half the sand in i had a 3g set up and put all the coral in. ther (not happy) had 100g of water premade did pretty well. today is the nixt day and its all clear. will be putting in coral soon
