Soon to be Moving

As the subject says, I'm soon to be moving out my apt. into a new mobile home I'm purchasing. My question is that, what should I do or don't do when I actually move my tank. My tank is 39 gallons, so I'm planning to remove some water in order to move it.

Instead, should I get a plastic jar large enough for everbody and fill that wil tank water to move the fish? Then remove all the water out the aquarium to move it easier?

Re: Soon to be Moving

Were it me, I would goto the grocery store and get some quart size bags. Fill half water/half air. Put them in a box or styrofoam cooler with some towels around for insulation and drive carefully.

With the tank itself, I would syphon the water to the gravel, put any plants/decorations you have in 5 gallon buckets with some tank water.

Ideally, according to what I read, you want to save as much water as possible.
