Hmmm, that's a great idea. I'll have to use this when it's time to move our tank.

I moved a 120g literally two feet, cleaned rock a bit, removed sand, and re-ran my electrical and it took almost seven hours in total start to finish. I had 150g inn tubs (thought I had a lot) and ran out of tubs. Used some buckets. I also planned on using my water over again and only had 50 gallons extra water. Ran out of than too. Had to make r/o to top up last 10 gallons (thankfully I had aquaforest salt that mixes fast). I would definitely ask local reefers for buckets/tubs, powerheads, heaters etc. and help. There was two of us but needed more hands to speed it up.

I remember when I upgraded my tank and move to a new location across the room. Took way longer than expected and my tank ended up crashing n killed almost everything. Pretty rough.
