ok, i have a 3 hour drive to pick it up, so should i take coolers and fill it with water or how should i transport it, so it is usable, because i want to scrub the tank and pipes then i have to refill it?

does it have to be saltwater in the coolers? or will freshwater hold it for a day or two?

fresh water will kill everything just use water from the tank.

you can also move the tank to the truck put the sand back in it and add water to it but the rock needs to be kept at least wet

dont forget to offer a lower price. ask him how many people are willing to buy such a huge tank. and say you have that cash in hand

This is a good idea for transport but you can't move the tank with anything in it. That would compromise the seals.

I have done it both ways. But i do agree its best to move the tank to the truck and put the sand back in.

TADA!! The unveiling. So far the only disappointment is that the new wireless controller has to be connect to some type of power source via usb cable.

Now I'm going to need suggestions on setting the intensity of the different colors. :-)

Well, the build portion is pretty much done. Just need to work on organizing all the wires now. Hopefully it will be ready for inhabitants in a week or so. Now that I have the lights on I was able to see spots where I hadn't cleaned the glass...that's why it's a little cloudy.
