Hi everyone, i am new on the forum.
Seek some advice. believe someone can help me.
In the next few months i am planning to move to another country.
I want to take our marine tank with me..
Travel to new destination is about 24-30hours. and here is my question: how should i best prepare corals/fishes for travel. What kind of equipment I need to buy..
I have about 70kg live rocks, 7 fishes, 2 shrimps, and some corals.
Any ideas?

Thank you

Welcome to R2R!

Have you researched how customs is going to handle your fish, corals, and inverts? Some countries won't even allow non-native marine life.

Good question... :/ i need to check it, never thought about it. I will travel within EEA. So probably would have only one customs check on the UK border.

That is a big move! It might be worth shutting down and starting back up in all honesty.

Assuming that you are definitely taking them with you, knowing what type of fish and corals will help immensely.

Yea customs may be a big pain in the rear end with it all, they may want purchase receipts, species information, country of origin, all that stuff.

Received confirmation earlier today and i do not need any documents, certificates etc when taking them abroad with me So I still need some advice how to do it.
