I went to a Tim Hortons near by (they knew me well LOL) and bought 15 x 4 gal buckets that were food containers with lids for a buck a piece. A 4 gal bucket is nice as you can lift and carry it easier. You will notice towards the end of the move.

Home Depot also sells big plastic buckets for very cheap. I think it was Home Depot. Maybe Rona? Hmmm...fat lot of good I'm doing! Anyway...just an idea.

congrats!!! Must have been fun fun fun!!!

I concur with everything I"ve heard, rubbermaid containers are far better than buckets - there's more surface area and more secure with the sloshing here, there and everywhere. That's what I'll use when we do our move, and I'm going to get a few inverters to keep powerheads and a heater going in the tank. Luckily we're moving all of about 10 - 15 mins away, so it won't be too bad - I say this now, but hey - I moved the tank here with almost as much stuff!

I will use buckets for the rock for the most part though. Fun times!!
