			 Would it be best to add new water to the tank or simply add the old water back in after the move and then do a water change once its all settled?

			 You could easily use all of the water but it might be better to just use 80 - 90% of the old and add the rest new, first water change. 
		
	
		
		
		
		
			On a side note, down the road if you wanted to do a small sump it would be really easy, I drilled out a bio-cube and built an OF for a fellow member here in Red Deer not that long ago.
