Hi, I am switching bedrooms with my parents beacuse i need more space for playing guitar and and my computer and stuff.

I have a 20 gallon high semi-planted aquarium.
The new bedroom is just down the hall, so it isnt downstairs or anything.

I'm not new with aquariums but have never really moved one before..
I need allll the help i can get.
I also have a snail problem..I've never bought snails i have no clue how they got in my tank.
I do have a major algae problem, It's stuck to my aquarium walls and i cant get it off, also i have weird hair-like algae inside the aquarium, so i think i need to clean my plants and stuff.
Should i also rinse my gravel, or will i have to re-cycle my tank. I have Eco-Complete, and i know that comes with certain bacteria for the plant..im so confused about it all.... please helppp :)

it's fairly easy but you may want help.
just leave every thing as is only syphon the water into buckets and leave about 2 inches of water in the tank as you move it (for fish and plants) the once its in the new location simply add the water back.
 
If you want to get rid of the snails, put a piece of lettuce attached to the glass and by the next morning you should have a good bit on the lettuce. They look like Ramshorn snails. To get the algae off the sides of the aquarium, get a razor blade and scrape it off. For your hair algae use this WEBSITE HERE to diagnose and treat.
