Default Wanting to get a saltwater setup

I currently have a 10g, 44g corner, and 125g all fresh water tanks! I am thinking of either changing my 125g to a saltwater tank with plans of live rock and coral or trying to buy another tank thats already setup! I have found a 125 saltwater setup with many fish and live rock but I am wondering about transporting this to my home that is 2hrs away. If any one can give me any ideas on the best way to get this setup home?? Any help will very much apperciated.

Thanks,
woodrowz24

It can be done. You would need to get containers for the water, keep the rock damp, buckets for the corals & fish. Best to get battery powered air pumps for the buckets with the fish. Remove as much water as possible & try to not disturb the substrate. You'll need some strong backed friends to move it since it'll probably weigh a few hundred pounds.
