   I recently took a job in Wisconsin, so needing a bunch of buckets with lids so I can preserve as much water as possible! Let me know if you have any! Thanks!!

   Why do you want to take the water with you? Many folks will tell you the water doesn't retain biological value. I don't know if I agree; I've always used existing water to help seed my tanks, but I don't know if I'd go to the trouble of moving it across state lines.

   I would just use enough water to cover your liverock and transport the livestock in. Have some new stuff made up for he rebuild. I used larger rubbermaid type totes and trash cans, and keep the water level a little lower in the container.
   
   When I moved my 250 I put all the live rock in 3, 50 gallon trashcans and covered them with water. They were actually pretty full, and I lost very little water on the road trip from Des Moines to CR.
