plus ornaments

Doddle! I moved my tanks 800 miles in the coldest week of February.

Get poly boxes from your LFS and ask for large bags, 1 fish per bag, two bags per box.

Get a clean bin/plastic box for the sand, I use a large fine net to get it out usually, a scoop or plastic trowel will also work.

Get another bin for the decor.

Filters can be left as they are, wrap in a towel each and make sure they can't tip over.

Use towels and blankets for the tank and stand, both must go flat on the bottom of the van.

You're missing heatpacks and possibly a few extra bins for water and a pump with long hose for draining.. remember to bring a mate or three.

When Moving to 400G, Me and the Seller Gaffer taped Old Cushions and Pillows to the edges of the tanks and stand. That helped alot.
