Moving tank questions
im moving in a week or so and I have about a 15 minute drive to my new place from where I am now, I have minimal rock scape but it's difficult to set it up due to the rocks are very strange shaped, I was wondering if I could drain the water from the tank and keep the rocks inside until I get it to my new place and fill it back up? it will take about 30 to 40 minutes total, also would it be ok to leave a few inches of water in the tank to cover the sand bed? thanks

You could but even the slightest wrong move can make a rock drop and it might crack your tank. Also, that things gonna be heavy as heck.
If you have a spare tank or a spare container I would add everything into that container and then take your time to do it properly. |

Take the sand out and put in a trash can with a little water to transport and take the rock and put it in a storage bin with a little water and move everything and set back up
