Build off challenge...

FISH and CHIPS
I was asked to enter the following challenge. My only concern would be the transport up to maine. Anyone can enter. It's a sweet itsy bitsy tank. I could rock it out. It's moving it that's got me concerned. Those roads really bite. One bump and possible catasophe. Anyone else up for challenge or got any ideas on moving this bite size tank. Remember it's a 2 hour ride to my house on lake and another hour to bath area.

Why wouldn’t you just drain it and set it back up ? Put your rock in Tupperware and bag or Tupperware the coral get to your place and set it back up ?
 
Not sure how much effort you want to put in and what you have for a vehicle, but I would try placing the assembled unit in a 5 gallon pail to contain water in a "worst case" scenario. The method of transport would be using some type of frame to suspend the bucket from. If done this way it will gimble like a drink holder on a boat. Imagine a camping toilet seat with legs......and the bucket hung from it.
 
K. So this is on. Build from start to finish to hopefully moved safely will be posted here and on.my facebook.page. ill.be looking for input, scoping out internet.

Haha that’s a silly little tank but looks awesome! What are your plans for lighting?

Sump looks hard to access - unless maybe it slides out the side/back?
 
Have to use stock light. Video show it slides from front. Thinking of building aquarium around it...lego style. I cant touch equipment. All I can add is ato. If I hide ato in aquarium building it will allow me to use ato without water going everywhere. Keep building open. It fits the rules I think. It's not equipment right? And I got tons of Legos and scuba guys.
