How to move a plant aquarium, to another house, city?
I have a an aquarium with normal glass, in the next couple of months we move to another city.
Detail
Size of the aquarium is 90 x 40 x 30 cm, it has so many plants that I use CO2 capsule and filtration. I have shrimp, fish, snails, and the plants.
The floor is well built-up with aquarium specific soil (around 5cm) and some branch to which I stick some of my specific plants on top of them.
Questions
How to move it to have minimum loss?
Is it possible to move the aquarium without break the glass, in a acceptance way, or acceptable weight?

It depends on who will move it . I assume you don't want to disturb the plant roots. If you are going to put it into a car yourself it should be alright. Put fish and shrimp into a bag or other container. Remove any rocks , wood , or other decorations, remove the water to about 1 cm, lift it carefully by the edges of the bottom ( not the center) and set it somewhere flat .It will still be heavy , about 50 # or about 25 kg. You may be able to leave the branch. Put plastic film over the top to maintain humidity for the plants ; they should be good for a day or two. If it will be moved by others ,
I think you will need to empty it completely. When empty the glass itself is very strong.
