How about a little more info - are you talking a couple days on the road with these or you talking a couple days while you tear down, move, and reset up your tank? Best thing (assuming you are talking about the later) is to get a big rubbermaid tub from the local hardware store, place some LR and your zoas with water from the aquarium in the tub, add a heater and powerhead and place your light above the tub. For moving itself, transfer sand, rock, water, corals all seperately in 5 gallon buckets (at least thats what I've found the easiest).
