I need to move my tank 3 feet over. Its only a 20g cube on a stand. Is there a minimum i should empty the tank or is it safe as long as i can pick it up?
 
I would take half the water out just so it's not sloshing around when you move it. plus it will make it easier to move.

Ok and there is no concern for any structural issues to the tank moving it with that much water?
 
I’ve always been told never move a tank that has water in it as it will weaker the joints. I would empty it completely.
