Great deal!!! (Not an advertisement)

I found a used aquarium ad in the paper for a sw 55 gal tank, with all
equipment, LR, 3" DSB, fish, and misc for $100 dollars! Too good to be
true? I hope not! I go to pick it up tomorrow morning. If everything turns
out alright, what is the best way to transport it? 5 gal buckets from home
depot? Should I keep all of the water in it? Err.. Let me re-phrase that...
Should I take the water out of the aquarium before transporting, but keep it
to fill it back up? Thanks -chris...the man with his first sw tank
(hopefully)

large Rubbermaid trash cans (that have not had trash in them) work great.
Put them in your truck and pump the water into them is the best way... don't
even try and move it full!!! you can also fill it with 5 gal buckets.. but
getting a hose and pump is defiantly the best way! You can even move the
sand bed that way.. but beware you will stir up a lot of stuff you don't
want in the water column. But, you will get that no mater what when you move
it.
