Moving suggestion:Moving a tank from Bronx to Pocono?s

[Wolverine57]

As some of you may know, we are moving to the Pocono?s on May 10th in a few weeks.

Currently, I have a 24G Aquapod (modded) with a sump. My tank is stock with live rock, live sand & Corals.
Fish: Paired True Perculas, Blue Flasher Wrasse, Paired Harlequin Shrimps, Green Clown Goby and, Yasha Hase Shrimp Goby w/ Pistol shrimp.

Transporting from the Bronx, NY 10462 to Tobyhanna, PA 18466
103.70 miles approximately 2 hrs 3 min.

Appreciate your suggestion on what will I need, or how I should go about breaking down and transporting my entire system to PA, and setup.

Thank you

I moved my 50g + sump from MA to NY last summer. Its not fun, but not too bad all in all. here are some helpful hints:
1) Have top off and salt water mixed and heated at your destination.
2) Have the spot for the tank ready at destination.
3) Keep everything submerged in 5 gallon buckets or larger tubs with airpumps and monitor the temp as you drive. Should minimize any type of cycle once you set it up again.
4) If you have a sandbed and wish to keep it, just leave a 1/4" or so of water on top of the sand during the trip and leave it in the tank.

This worked for me, no cycle, no losses at all

grundig5 has hit it on the head,however if that is not possible:

have a rubbermaid tub setup at arrival location or tank if possible with water, therm. and heater.
package all your live stock and place in a cooler with some heat packs. live rock in buckets with water and the tank can be placed on a piece of plywood and wrapped with bubble wrap, keep sand and 1" of water in tank. once at your location setup as normal. this would be like a water change for your tank.
