    If there is one piece of advise I can share from my devastating move GET NEW SAND. There is so much detritus and evil junk in your sand bed it is very hard to clean out. While your moving you will stir up the hole thing and if it is left in the water it will kill everything

    Take it slow. everything will be fine in rubbermaid containers for many day. Don't rush it. Take advantage of this time to change things you always wanted to but didn't want to rip the tank appart
