I have browsed through the stickies and there is a wealth of good information. I purchased this:

it has a variety of fish including a black shark (?) and some angels and what not. I need to transport this tank and the fish. What is the best way to do this while removing the fish from the tank? How much water should I save?

I sea kayaked the Baja penninsula a few years back and vowed to setup a saltwater aquarium with all the corals and stones I found. Fast forward to now and that never happened and I would like to put those stones in my tank. They have been out of the water for 3 years now, is there a threat from dormant bacteria or non-native compounds? Will I have any problems with the addition of these items?

TIA
