Drove about 10k across town to my new condo, moved the stand in, carried tank up and placed it then dumped the water bottles back in the tank. Other than some really annoyed fish, everything was fine. Nothing moved or shifted, all corals were intact

Did it again moving out of the condo into my current house.
lol wow that sounds scary. But it sure sounds like that is the way to go about it. Thanks for all the input guys, very helpful. Im gonna try once he goes into the sand tonight and if I can't get him I'm draining my tank tomorrow. I will post how it turns out. Thanks again guys, great ideas.
