    Oh I like it!
    I'll have to see what the stand and everything else looks like but this definitely could be a great option. Thanks for the tip!

    I have moved many tanks with no problem. Jack and I moved my 75 which was loaded with corals... Just dont disturb the substrate, lower the water down to it. Move it, and refill trying not to disturb the substrate as you refill.

    my problem is that I don't want to keep the substrate (crushed coral) and rather replace it with sand. That's why I thought keeping some of the original crushed coral substrate in a filter bag may preserve some of the original bacteria.

    As long as the bioload is not too large, you could go with brand new sand that is dry.... If it's a couple of horseys it should be no big deal.
