bagging corals

[crispyreef]

It's time for me to move. Luckily it is in town and should take a day to do. I will be moving my 125gal to a 165gal. My question is, what is the best way to bag sps corals. Some are frags that will be easy but I also have some large branching and plating sps. I was wondering if I should wrap plastic around coral then place in bag(like you get from a LFS) or use buckets and containers. I also want to treat with interceptor at some point either before or after move. Please let me know your moving experiences and what worked good for you. Thank you!

Hey Chris, when I moved to Windsor I went from my 50g to my 120g. I filled two 55g drums with tank water and put all my live rock in them. I stacked the live rock so that any sps could be sticking straight up in the middle on top. Luckily my tank hadn't matured much in the 55. That made it much easier. Individual containers with with plastic bags loose in them will work well. Let me know if you need any help.
Are you moving before the next meeting?

Hi Mike. I think I am going to move this or next weekend, depending on how ready I am. Do you have any containers that I may borrow. I heard you have one on wheels. That would be a huge help.
