dude, have them airport ship it to you. it'll cost less and get to u same day. sometimes i think driving that far isn't worth it to me. 20+ hours home? that means 20+ hours to go pick it up. not healthy for you or the fish. but if you do POST PICS!!!
Allright! Its a BIG Asian. And it is 20 hours going up, picking it up and 20 hours driving back..am I crazy or not, 45 years old? I actually am excited with the prospect....
If you have a seasoned foam filter in one of your tanks you can drive that with a battery powered air pump. They run quite a while on a pair of batteries. I wouldn't worry too much about a heater just keep the interior slightly on the warm side. Stop for coffee and change the batteries a couple of times. Coolers work very well as transportation tanks...just cut a square out of the top and sqweeze in a course sponge...keeps the water in and allows O2 exchange.
You can bring a small air pump with you in case you stop for the night..that way you don't have to risk driving 20 hours in one go.
