    I put my rock in plastic totes from walmart when i moved. I loaded the totes put water in then rock. Just made sure they was covered. I figure the drive would provide circulation. I kept the sand in the 40gal, coral i packed in tote so they couldnt move. The fish I put in a container with air stone and set in front. Didnt have a LFS to help pack, so i did it myself. Just lost coralline on the tank above the water line. I left about 1 inch to cover sand. The tank was the last thing me and wife loaded and first thing i started sitting up.
