I'd think that cycling it then moving it would disturb the layers of dif bacteria that have grown in the bed. I'd rather put the sand in the bucket and recirculate the water to and from another bucket. You could set your bucket in a rubbermaid and let it overflow into it. If you want to keep the bacteria coming, do small wc's and use the old tank water for this when you do the change. Once this is set up I don't think it is to be disturbed. IMO
