    So ive decided that I'm going to move down to central florida. I live in Huntsville Alabama right now and the move date is October 1st. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to transport a 90 gallon all glass aquarium with stand ie. Packaging it up and stuff like that. Looking forward to hearing what you think, thanks!

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Are you moving the items personally?

    Are you taking live stock?

    Approximately how many hours will it take to get there is you are taking live stock?

    Yes I'm moving the tank personally in my toyota tundra truck and I'm not taking any livestock. Just tank and stand but was wondering the best way to keep the glass tank from cracking, breaking, scratching etc. over the 12 hour drive down

    I would say Some padding for under the tank, make sure corners and edges all have something on them and throw a tarp or sheet over it and make sure to dodge pot holes and wildlife. 8)
