Tank is currently stocked with angel fish and discuss. It is located about 1 - 1/2 hours away from my home. If I buy this will the fish make it? I figure the time it will take us to empty his tank, bag the fish, drive home, give the tank a cleaning, set it up fill, put fish back in about 5 hours? Is this a good investment? Will the fish parish? Also, I am thinking I will have to save some of the water currently in the tank as to not loose the fish. PLEASE................Help, tips, comments, suggestions. Please help.

yeah, I was wondering about that myself, coral isn't as valuable dead... I am getting a 125 with a lot of the same stuff (filters, some dead corals, sand, hood and stand) for $100. keep searching.
If you don't have battery powered pumps, then you'll need big heavy duty plastic bags (those used by your lfs). 1.5 hours shouldn't be any problem. 
make sure you don't bag more than 2 fish in one bag.

That stinks! Sucks that you didn't get it. I run across great deals all the time. I'm sure you will find another! Good luck.
Discus should not be transported in circular containers. They will damage their side, and can rub their eye on the side until blind. 5 hours isn't long at all, I just made a 5 hour trip with 3 discus in one bag, they all made it fine.
