Transporting Live Rock, Corals and fish (full tank)

[JmeJReefer]

Just did a whole tank move... Kept live rock in the water from original tank in one container. Kept coral n fish in separate containers with new sw. Transported everything and zero casualties.
The sps might be a little ticked but they r tougher than they look...
They all managed to get here from across the world. Work quickly and carefully and things will go well...

Thanks a lot for the advice Anthony! I will give this some thought and decide whether his venture is even worth the risk. Any other advice in the meantime would be noted. If I make this move I'll post an update.

Cheers

Moving anemones is not a problem, but having them adapt to a new tank sometimes is more of a problem.

With a giant squamosa, be aware of having it out of the water. I usually "roll" my clam around in my hand as I place it into the tank to allow an air bubbles to be released before settling it into its place. Trapped air bubbles inside the clam can cause it problems. Keep everything (clams, anemones and live rock) submerged as much as possible to reduce stress.

If you plan things well and work swiftly, it should be fine. Just wanted you to be aware that anemones and clams are more sensitive about going into a newly set up tank (read any of the experts' advice or google it). I usually try to add some of the original tank water if I'm doing an "instant" reef, and treat it like a massive water change, as I stated before.
