Right on, I moved from Western PA to NJ and I just put all my fish in large rubbermaid, I used a regular air pump with a power converter (plug into cig lighter) and made it with no issues and that was a 7 hour move and like 9 hours from the first fish out of the tank until it was back in the tank. All large SA/CA cichlids and catfish

I moved from nj to fl and back to nj. I used big Rubbermaid an ac power inverter and ran a submersible fluval and a heater but that was a 22 hour drive. Battery powered air pump should be fine

Ditto hear, I also had extra water in jugs just in case.

i have moved fish from maine to florida and from florida to vermont. I use a trash back to line a cooler(just to prevent splashing. Then all I use is a power converter and an air pump. In all my trips I only lost 2 fish and that was when the air pump was accidentally turned off in the hotel room
