all the times that i have moved a fish tank. the key is if you have sand to slowly take it out so you are not creating any Nitrates to hit the water. This is caused from the Anarobic bacteria that is trapped under the sand bed the eats Nitrates.

once u have the sand bed pretty much taken out. you can dry it out and take it over to the other place and leave it.

this will be like adding a sand bed that is brand new. but I would keep some in the tank then maybe like in a bowl for critters and whatever.

and the rest is taking your time and pre making water to have at the other house.

if you have tubs take the rock that does not have corals on them and you can move them in a pail with water.

This can act as a spare tank til u get the other tank over there.

good luck buds
