I thought about the rock and was thinking of only using like 3 pieces per can and really jam them in there so they wouldn't move. As I've said I'm not concerned about the rock too much so if I can't get them to lock together really well I just won't use it on the trip. Bah maybe I won't use it. I could silicone some pvc to the bottom(inside) of the cans a couple days before the move for the fish to have a hiding place. Yeah should be a 15hr drive as long as the weather holds, fingers crossed.

We did Victoria to Edmonton last year bought a bunch of sps and was 3 days on a cooler in the fall had to use heat packs. We lost one birdsnest from the 35 frags I had bought

I moved 500 miles, then an hour move and in the spring, from manitoba to BC. Always the same with no losses.

Rubbermaid tubs with "some" of the rock, all corals and any rock with corals and the fish. 50w Ebo heater. Hydor powerheads. Power inverter. Way you go. Any base rock or rock with not much life can go in salt buckets, covered in tank water, and be sealed up for the trip.

Good luck, it's a lot tougher during winter. I moved from Kelowna to Squamish during the summer and had all everything look great. I did Squamish to Gibsons (nearby town but there is a ferry ride) a couple months later and it completely wiped out my salt tank. My 90g fresh with about 20 fish including 2 big cichlids didn't even lose a fish but I don't even have bristleworms in my 120g salt right now.

I'd definitely be careful about the temp, make sure the fish are heated and insulated.
