unless you have a cycled tank on arrival to az,bringing youre livestock probly wont work,yes you can bring th LR but i would think youre going to have some die off,and a cycle when you get to az,bye bye to most of youre corals ,probly.maybe you can contact a lfs in az,or something(any reefers from az on the board

)that you can go straight to on youre arrival,and they can hold you corals for a few weeks while you cycle youre tank.i would think youd have to be pretty attached to youre stuff to do all this though.

Hi Erbs,
As the owner of a 55 reef myself, I would take this as an opportunity to upgrade to the 75 I wish I'd gotten instead of the 55!!!
It might be easier to sell the tank as a whole than trying to parcel things out.
It's tough enough to move a tank driving but flying is really problematical as the corals, etc., are out of your control in the belly of the plane or in the baggage system.
Here's a page with lots of tank moving info:
