I usually use an opened top bucket. You can buy a battery powered pump and keep the temp. in your car decent. Or, you can bag them and find a LFS to hook you up with some oxygen. Still want to make sure temp. stays stable. | |

Battery powered air pump is a must I would use the 5 gallon buckets that you get your salt in because of the locking lid just make a hole for the air line. Watch the temp that is key I don't know what the temp is there this time of year . Keep the pail out of the sun obviously. I moved my buddy this winter and he has a 155 gallon shark/Trigger tank and a 150 gal fully stocked reef and he did't lose a thing in the move ( except the frags of coral I made him give me for helping him move those tanks) Bring as much of your tank water that you can to put back in the tank when you re-set up the system we brought a lot of his water he only had to make 70 gallons total after the move.
