I made a move 6+ hour drive. I also used styrofoam coolers, battery-operated air-stones and tried to separate everything out. For Corals, I rolled up some plastic to act as a cushion during movement.

My advice:

1). Have extra "D" batteries on-hand. They don't last long in those battery-operated air-stones.

2.) Get up as early as possible. Best to do things during the day. It is going to happen something small will drop on the floor and easier to see/do things in the daylight.

3.) Not sure about your fish. But a small bottle of Prime will neautralize an initial nitrite spike. Nitrite bacteria takes time to form on all the surfaces -- glass, sand, etc.
