Leave them bagged and put them in a cooler or styro box. I tank stuff back and forth to Edmonton all the time, it's not exactly problem free but pretty much the less you mess with it the better. Ask the store to double bag everything for you to be on the safe side.

I have a choice to make though, I will have a 5g bucket with a heater and a powerhead, and I have a power inverter in my car so I can run both on my drive back.

Should I keep the fish/corals bagged and float them in my 5g bucket, or acclimate them to the bucket and just go that route?

you could also use heat packs. put them in a towel and put them in the cooler. i have used the ones you get at a drug store the ones for back pain

Heat packs are a good idea if I go the cooler/styro route, thanks Ed.

I used a gel heat/cold pack and heated up in a microwave at a gas station and duct taped to the top of the cooler worked like a charm
