Hi Tony,

Firstly, if you need volunteer help I would be more than willing (Maybe the wife as well), we are looking into plumbing set ups and want to learn more anyway!

Secondly, we have moved our tank twice now, once from California all the way to Whistler. Try stopping off at a pet store each day for O2, and doing baggy water changes from stored water in a hotel room! Still, we only lost one fish in the move. Like someone else mentioned, we used movers for everything but the tank which allowed us time to figure it out. by the same token, we also only have a 60gal uniquarium so truthfully there was no plumbing to set up since the sump/fuge are built into the tank. I think that with some planning and the opportunity to do the move over a couple of days you should be fine. Worse comes to worse, couldn't you plug the holes, set up tank only and then install the plumbing? Not sure on that one.

Help is here once you figure out how you want to proceed!

Best,

Rob
