Hey guys I'm moving a 220 reef tank with fish and corals about 45 mins away in like 37 degree weather. Any tips on moving this thing? I've got 1 44gal brute garbage can 2 32gal brute garbage cans and about 8 buckets and a 100 gallon stock tank to transfer livestock and some water. I'm gonna rent a uhaul to do it all in one move. Also can u tip a tank on its end and move with a dolly? Thanks joe

The trash cans can be put in the uhaul 1st so your not transporting and spilling water all here are some things i would do
1-Place the trash cans on the truck
2-Transfer water into the brutes 1st
3-add heaters if you can
4-Move livestock and everything in the tank
5-Move tank
6-Setup tank again including plumbing
have empty brutes(at new location) with heaters in them already
7-start to transfer water brutes until tank is ready
8-Livestock
9-finish transfering things to tank
im sure i skipped a lot but thats just off the top of my head ive moved my 210 3 times bro
that long of a drive with that water in that temp of 37 will get cold quick
