Best way to move my tank?
Hey guys. So, as I've mentioned before, I've moved from southern Indiana to Kentucky, about 40 minutes south. My aquarium is still at the old house, and I would really like to get it down here and get back into it, but I'm at a complete loss as to what the best way to do that is. It's a 40 gallon marine tank, and I have some live rock in there with Camille and her pet goby. I've never moved a tank this big before, let alone a saltwater one, and I'm not quite sure what to do with the water and substrate and all that. ANyone have any ideas?

I would dedicate 1 round-way trip just for the move. Concentrate the entire trip for all aquarium related stuff and procedures. Distractions might lead to mistakes or accidents.
Kind regards,
