I have a 5 gallon planted aquarium, and I will be moving in a few
months locally.

I have read that you should completly empty the tank, but I was
wondering if I could leave the substrate alone because it's a small
tank?

I have three inches of substrate, one inch each of clay, soil, and
gravel.

Thanks


Drain enough so that it doesn't slosh around (75%?) and slip a piece of
plywood underneath (a few inches bigger than the tank), for an easy way to
carry it. This works up to about 30g. jmo
