    Lots of big rubbermaid tubs and a ton of buckets with lids makes moving ALOT easier.

    Use coolers for your livestock to help keep temp stable. Have lots of water mixed and ready to go at the new place. syphon out the water your going to keep before you pull all of your rock and fish and stir up the sand. Lots of towels.

    Good Luck

    I ran a heater in the tub that I had livestock in through an ACDC adapter. It was a small one but I'm sure it helped since it was winter.

    I'm trying to work it out so that i can get into the new house before we move, to set up my new stand, and mix some water. I think i am gong to use my suburban and just put the seats down, and crank the heat up in the back. Either that or i rent a little enclosed trailer and run my generator and heater. thanks
