Converting FW tank to SW before moving?

I would start cycling it! If you like to move water and rocks, i think we
all do! i would start cycling to get some basics down, so when you do your
move, you can upgrade whater necessary, then by then you will be slightly
ahead, no wasted time. Time is money and time is not wasted oer here!.

OK,

I have been wanting to convert my FW tank to SW for some time, it has one
catfish left that has lived for months with no pump running and no food. I
thought the thing was dead and gone, till my nephew siad it was still
alive.

Anyway, I will give this fish to my brother and convert mine to a SW
setup.

Here is my delima. I like to piddle with things and the aquarium would do
nice. It was given to me before my mother died. It is around a 55 gallon
setup, I can't remember the exact size so I will have to measure, I was
thinking she said it was larger.

Here is what I plan to do. I would love to clearn the tank and start
buying
live rock a little at a time, probably add no fish.

I plan on getting married around Christmas and our new house should be
built
by then. So I would love to move the aquarium then to the new house and
hopefully the cycle time would be lower. Any ideas? Or should I just wait
before doing anything. Kinda hate to have it just sit there-)

I just hate to start throwing more freshwater stuff at it if I know I am
going to go SW.

Thanks
