This is what I did.
1. Set up a holding tank at the current house and use water from main tank. (I used two FX5 to filter the holding tank with old media). I also added a few large sponge filters to get bacteria going on the sponges. Also before moving the fish to the holding tank I prepared them by cutting back on feeding. The whole process took me 2 weeks.
2. Move the fish into the holding tank. And drain the main tank.
3. Set up the tank/filters at the new house. Add the sponge filters, run it for a week. Move the fish over to the main tank. Drain the holding tank. And you're done.

I was lucky enough to have friends who let me borrow bins/tanks to use as holding tanks. I also bought bags, and O2 to make sure the move was easier instead of putting them in buckets.

Hope this helps.
