Glass Tanks On West Coast (Usa)?

[VTDrew]

So I may be relocating from geologically boring Vermont to the Ring of Fire (Lincoln/Lake Tahoe area of California).  I understand that the Lincoln area is not very seismically active compared to the more populated areas on the fault lines.  I have 5 glass tanks.  A 72bow, a 56column, a 20tall and 2 10's.  From what I know, acrylic tanks are the norm on the west coast because of earthquakes.
 
Does anyone familiar with the Tahoe area know if it is "safe" to have glass tanks in that area?  What it boils down to is.....do I sell my tanks or move them.
 
Question 2, I don't know anyone on here, but I need to ask.  If I covered all expenses and waived liability, would someone be willing to cycle a tank of minimum size (with a few of their fish) and have me ship them my fish as shipping water accross the country seems like a dumb idea.  I will likely only send the fish I consider dear to me and leave the rest for the LFS.  Clearly you must live close enough that I can safely xport the fish and enough cycled water for a safe tank.
1 Venustus
1 Pictus Cat
4 Cant remember the name off hand Rainbows
1 Turqoise Rainbow (unless the two sick ones in quarentine survive...then its 3)
1 Millenium Rainbow
1 Bushynose Pleco
1 Upsidedown Cat
1 Random Small Pleco
1 Betta named Joe (obviously a separate tank)
*Everyone but the random pleco and upsidedown cat live very happily together.  Obviously not the betta.

Shipping the water is a dumb idea. Ship the filter media instead, thats where the bacteria is. Though you might still go through a minicycle, keep the bacteria wet at all times.

It shouldn't be a big problem with the glass tanks. Its all in how they are anchored down. Lower to the ground is better because whatever you put it on will become top heavy.  This may not be ideal but will be safer. If you want something a little higher make sure it has a wide base to support the tank, also anchoring whatever you put the tank on to the wall. This will help with stability.  Just make sure that you get it into something solid and not just the plaster that covers your wall.  Your taller tanks may cause some trouble cause they are more prone to tipping when what they are on starts shaking so securing the tank itself to the wall may be something you would want to consider.  There are some semi flexible metal bands with a bunch of holes in them that you can get at hardware stores that you can wrap around your tank and anchor to the wall then jus take some paper matching the color and you can cover it up to make it look nicer. All in all its a risk reward thing.  We don't get huge earthquakes often but then again we Californians don't get outa bed for anything less than a 4.0 earthquake
