Ok I'll be moving in a week and would like to get Ideas on how to transport my sps corals without causing too much stress!! I was thinking of moving the corals first and then the rock and then fish. Lastly, at put the water in trash buckets. Any ideas or modifications?? Thanks in advance
 
I've moved corals 3 times. The biggest move was from PA to Tx. THe other was from OH to PA. Very few corals from MI to OH, but i had a few. How far are you moving? If you are moving across town, the best thing you can do is ensure that you have a system set up to put corals into. If you can't do that it becomes a bit more challenging. The temperature will be the biggest factor. SPS seem to do well in a bucket if they aren't bumping around or into other corals. The aggitation of the travel is enough for airation. For fish, its a whole different story. PM and I'd happily call you with tips.
