moving a tank??

So im getting a new place here soon and looking for some advice as to how to move a tank that is established, ive never had to move one before so am looking for ideas on how to do this

the tank is not all that big, but big enough that it can cause problems, its 40 breeder with 15 sump

ive done reading and basically all i can think to do is catch the fish, put them in bucket or 2 with a bubbler ( not sure how to get a bubbler for this working )

put the corals in a seperate bucket that arent attached to a rock

buy a large container or my rock work and corals that are attached, move a majority of the water by hand to this other container already sitting in the truck while leaving some water at bottom enough for the sand.

pick up tank, stand, plumbing etc,move to truck, move to new place, reassemble???

any ideas are much appreciated, the move is about half hour away from current place.

 

Plenty of threads about it just search

 

Sounds good so far. Depending on home many fish you have, you may want to split them up. When stressed fish will deplete the oxygen very very quickly in the buckets. Otherwise your good to go

 

Hope this helps.
