Problem

[stagofdoom]

I am attending the University of Tennessee right now and I have my 24 gallon nanotube.

The thing im worried about is how hard will it be to transport from my school to home. I live about 3 hours away and I am worried about getting my fish back home. Also I want to get corals but will they be difficult to transport home too.
Thanks
Ben

If I were you I would get like 2 ten gallon coolers and put half the water in each cooler and put the fish in baggies a long with any corals. Leave just a little water in the bottom of the nano so anything live in the sand wont die out. You can keep fish in baggies for up to 24 hours, so a 3 hour drive shouldn't do them any harm.

Sound advice right there.
As long as you dont make any long stops you should have any problems.

You don't even need to use baggies. I would just use 5-gallon buckets from the hardware store (clean, of course) and put all the stuff in the buckets. The fish and corals will be fine in buckets for a few hours.

I would go to your LFS and ask for a styrofoam box that was used for shipping their livestock and buy a few bags for your livestock. I am sure they would be happy to give it to you for they only throw those away. Ask for the deepest they have if you don't want to use bags.
