I moved a 55gallon saltwater tank about 15 miles.  I took all of the water out
and stored it in plastic tubs.  Four 18 gallon tubs with lids cost me about
$12, and I didn't have to fill them all the way to the top.

In your case, I would just get a few 5 gallon buckets and transport all of the
water and set it back up again in the new place.  Try to minimize the stress on
the fish.
