I have a 5 gallon planted aquarium, and I will be moving in a few
months locally.
I have read that you should completly empty the tank, but I was
wondering if I could leave the substrate alone because it's a small
tank?
I have three inches of substrate, one inch each of clay, soil, and
gravel.
Thanks 
I have taken 30% of the water out (normal change) and then just lifted
the tank to it's new location....not so much of an issue with a 5 gall
as with a 55gall :-)
