Hi I'm currently moving home, I have a tank with both live plants and ofcose fish. It has finally stabalized and I was wondering what Is the best way to move a tank with little effect on the system? Thank u
 
Put fish in temporary container with airstone and if possible, a filter. Break down tank, taking care to keep filters and gravel/substrate/decorations wet(do not let dry out or you will lose the beneficial bacteria).

Move.

Set up tank then acclimate fish.

Done.

:)

As long as the filter media/gravel/decorations don't dry out, it should have very little effect on it. Just check your levels to make sure for the first few days. Partial WC's the first few days wouldn't hurt either.
