moving tank soon

[joshl]

i have a 55 gallon tank i am going to be moving off the stand i have it on now and will be putting it in my wall in my living room
what would be the easyest way to move this think with out breaking anything and causing another cycle? and also with out killing any of my fish

any help would be great

I would be safe about it and take out the water, rocks, corals and fish and put them in a separate container. While moving try not to move the sand too much and you should be fine. Add everything back in once it's in the wall.

would it hurt anything to do like a 50% water change once everything starts going back in?

You're not reinventing the wheel here. Just drain,move,refill. Buy a new plastic trashcan to hold the water and livestock while you move the tank.
