Moving the tanks help

[Hobbiest]

Up until recently I kept taks with no substrate mostly. This also helped when I wanted to rearrange my tanks as I had no substrate to manage. I want to move some tanks but these days I keep substrate in all of them. So my main concern of I attempt to move everything is the ammonia spiklng too high from disturbing all of the substrate. Tips and 411 would be welcome.

With gravel just vac the crap out of it before hand and should be fine.  You could probably just stir sand and do a water change.

If you're overly concerned just rinse the tank/substrate before refilling.

This is all I'd do.

If you have good biofilters, just rinse the substrate so it's clean.
