Will this vehicle be parked outside overnight? What is coming with the setup beyond rock? Any corals or fish?

The night time low in Edmonton is forecasted to be 9 degrees tomorrow. Leaving fish and most corals without flow or a heater over-night is a risky thing to do for a tank that is stable, well established, and in a heated home. Leaving fish and corals in a tub over-night in a vehicle parked outside with no flow or heat at pretty much any time of the year in Alberta will most assuredly kill everything.

If you're lucky, some pods will survive the night as those things are pretty much bullet proof, but that's about it. If livestock is part of the package, you need to find a way to keep the water at least warm, and preferably moving and warm.

ETA: I see you posted this yesterday. The night time low in Edmonton is supposed to be 10 degrees. Still way too cold for anything from a reef to survive in overnight.
