well i learnt this from pratical fishkeeping.
you should
Never move a filled aquarium, go to youn LFS and ask/purchase some of the bages they use to transport fish and also some polistirine boxes so the ish maintain there tempreture, fill the bags with one thire water 2 thirs air (if you can use pure oxygen) and add only 1 big or a few small for to a bag. by the time all the fish are packed some of the water should be gone.
Now the filter, take the media out of the filter and add to bags of tank water with some food (to keep as many alive as posable) use the same method are the fish for transportaton but i would do it in two bags which means if something goes wrong not all the bacteria will die making you have to cycle the tank.
once every thing livving has been baged up (plants just add a small amound of water to a sealable bucket and they will last a-while), empty all the water and get rid of it or transport it using sealable buckets (its easyer to just lose it, and refill back at home).
remove asmuch of the gravel asposable (dont spend more than 10 mins on the next few bits), remove all decorations and transport it
instantly
at home set the tank up by adding the gravel again, adding the decorations and refilling the tank (not to full as the fish water will add some more), dechlorinate the water and let it heat up with using a heater, add the filter and media ASAP to avoid losing anymore bacteria, add the fish by letting them sit in there bags in the water for about 20mins, every 5 mins add a small amount of tank water to get them used to your water qualitys.
this should be everything, there are many ways of transporting fish and a filter but this is just my way, im sure you will get many other ways and chose the one that is best for you and the fish (dont forget the filter)
shang hi
