Moving a |Paludarium

[steffish]

I will be moving house soon. Any advice on moving a paludarium? It's in an Exo-terra 18" (cube) My best guess is I am going to have to pretty much dismantle it. Bag livestock-2 small fish. Bag aquatic plants. Remove water, gravel, filters. Spray whats left with water, then seal the whole thing to keep in moisture. Pack in a BIG box with styrofoam around it. And a couple prayers might not hurt. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

How far away are you moving and how long will it have to stay dismantled?

if you seal it for more than a day, expect mold. any way to just move it in a car by itself? would save you a lot of the packaging.

Moving about a thousand miles. 16 hour drive, so figure at least 24 hours.
