Most likely it will have to cycle again. If you want to try to speed it up, get a new, clean 20 gallon rubbermaid trash can and try using some of the water you have now. This may speed up the cycle process at your new place. Also, keep your sand, this may help. Another thought would be to try using some liverock when you re-set up the tank to help it along.
Otherwise, you're SOL. But look at it in a positive light. You may have been trying to move a whole tank full of creatures, rock etc.
good luck with the move!
There might be a possibility that I am moving, and that means I would have to drain and move my tank. It is in the middle of cycling right now, ammonia, nitrites and nitrates are at peak. My question is if I drain it an move it and refill it is it going to start the cycle all over again?? It is 55 gallon by the way with sand bottom(not live), nothing else, using biozyme to cycle. Please help!!
