Best way is going to be bagging them up, then either using a poly box or even a cool box (they work both ways) for the journey.

Hope your well

I've just asked the same question, but mine will be travelling from engalnd to ireland. By car and boat. Will I need heat packs? Where can I get them from?

Thank you i will have to drain all my tank down so i will bag them up then find something to rest them in untill i get to my destination and have to refill the tank xx

P.s. not doing great

you can get heatpacks off ebay micko but if you get a poly box that should stay warm enough in the car.

will they be ok to go right into the tank once i have re filled it? xx

if you keep the filter media wet, and its the right temperature then yes
