If you want to move the tank and make some changes, the best thing would be to set up a new tank, move everything over, then sell the old tank. This way there is no rush, and you can actually do things right, the way you want. Get the tank drilled for the closed loop, take your time with the plumbing, you wont have to take shortcuts because your tank is still up and running just fine. You should be able to move everything over at once - you wont see a cycle because the rock will only be out of water a few minutes at most.

The slower you move things the better they will turn out.
