I’ve moved my 40B (drilled with a sump) around a few times,due to relocating for work. I just recently broke it down and went slightly smaller with a aio tank.
Hopefully you won’t have to move it around as much, but if you do, you know what to do

I moved my current livestock 3 times. from a 10 to 20 gallon to a 30 gallon tub to a 65 gallon. The first transfer was easy since I just upgraded the tank used the same equipment and it went smoothly. The second transfer from the tub to the 65 was a gradual transfer that took about a month to complete.

Wow. I don’t know if I could do a gradual transfer personally. Just seems like prolonged stress, but I’ve never done it so couldn’t tell you.
