We had four salt buckets filled with live rock, one with live sand, and water all dispersed at the bottom of our childrens' feet. We literally had no more room for another salt bucket or anything anywhere in the truck (a quad cab).

I've transported many a fish in many a tank in exactly the same manner, albeit not with the weight of live sand or any substrate, as we live 8 hours northwest of Edmonton and there are no specialty aquatics anywhere near us.

Unfortuately, I've learned the hard way and little critters paid the price, a lesson that is not lost on me.
