    Bought a 55 gal set up with insane amounts of coral. They need it out of there house tomarrow morningish. What can i use to transport the rock, corals, and water. Every peice of rock is covered in all different kinds of soft corals.

    Was thinking i could run around town and get 10 or 11 5 gallon buckets, if i do that what can i clean them with that is reef safe???

    Thanks for the help!

    When i get it home and set back up ill shoot you all some pictures!

    it may sound crazy but see if any bakerys use a ton of frosting that comes in buckets. my wife works in a grocery store and I get free 5 gal buckets from them. Just rinse them out with a ton of water and they are ready for use. A little suger never hurt anything I carred in them.
