So when i pick up my 125 this weekend I want to turn it into a reef tank. However I will probably be moving a few times over the next 2-3 years so I am wondering what is the process for moving a developed reef tank? What do you do with all the corals if they have grown?
 
If you are moving you`ll just put your corals in 5 gallon buckets or put them in plastic bags and then put them in a cooler. It`s not really hard.
 
+1 for Mike. 5 gallon buckets for the corals and 20 gallon totes for the the LR. But, i would wedge some solid foam in the buckets to keep the coral rocks from bouncing around too much.
 
yeah too much movement can be dangerous for corals and fish. although one of the things im conserned with is your cycle starting all over.
