I am thinking about this a well. How big of a generator did you get?
I understand the driving particularly if you do it for a living. But if you want to make a little trip north of the board check out these guys they have tanks for anything. Their technical drawings they are very helpful with sizing and ideas I find.

I do anything for my fish too.
Last May drove down to Indianapolis to see the 500 on Sunday, Left for Maryland on the monday, to see Hans to pick up my fish 2: am r so, then back to Toronto by Tuesday mid afternoon fish were swimming in my tanks by 3:00 pm i think, About 3200 Kim's (1800 miles) in 4 days plus some shopping with the wife, good times.
Good luck every man needs at let one hobby
