You might want to be careful with leaving some water in your tank. You might be better off putting any water you want to save in a plastic bucket and bring it with you separately! An uneven tank with some water in it can crack especially if the water is swishing back and forth. As far as keeping everything alive?? I think bagging it should be fine?? They ship fish fed x all the time. Maybe fill the bags with pure oxygen if you can but I am kind of uncertain on it. I'm sure someone hear will have some ideas. Good luck and let us know how you make out!!
