They are only going to have to move about 20 min drive. I think I am good with the fish and having them ok. The stuff I don't really understand is the sand and rock. As long as I keep them moist and set it up quickly (couple of hours) shouldn't I be ok?

I want to buy a running 40 gal marine tank this weekend. The question is how do I move it and keep the critters well? There is not a lot of LR in it and 4 fish. I want to preserve as much as possible obviously and make sure the fish are fine.

I have a GSP that I have had for about 4 months now that I just put into a cycled 20gl tank. He was in a 10gl tank with 2 small cichlids. I did not know before but now I do, that they are not compatible. Puffy had a tendency to rome up and down the glass from time to time. I thought he might have fe...
